Its the least worst desktop environment on Linux.
Its usually pretty fine out of the box on a 12" laptop, but on a desktop machine with multiple monitors, a bevy of extensions are mandatory to make it as quick & efficient as a desktop UI should be.
- fuckcensorship 4y agoCare to share some extensions that improve GNOME workflow?
- amiga-workbench 4y agoDash to dock to make application switching pretty much instant, hiding the dock away in the overview only ever makes sense when you're screen real-estate constrained (12" laptop) Tiling Assistant, this lets you define custom window snapping zones, its most helpful when you have a mix of landscape/portrait displays and you need more flexibility than the built-in behaviour offers. DDterm, this one isn't essential, but its convenient to have a terminal shade ready to go. On my ThinkPads I'd bind this to the ThinkVantage key to quickly get a terminal up. I used to muck around with themes and icon sets years ago, but Adwaita is pretty inoffensive these days, and dark mode is not an afterthought now.
- digitallyfree 4y agoIf you like DDterm you may be interested in Tilix, which is designed for Gnome. It also has a dropdown terminal shade as well as regular windowed terminals, and you can drag and drop your sessions between then. I used to use Guake as my shade but it's a lot more convenient to have a unified solution for regular and dropdown terminals.
- curioussavage 4y agoThis is why I don’t take criticism of gnome seriously. Why exaggerate. This is hardly a “bevy” of extensions.
