Yeah, if you need to install extensions to make GNOME usable, GNOME is not for you. Seriously, there are other options. I can't stand using GNOME, but they have a vision they are sticking to and I can respect that.
Cinnamon is probably the best DE to give that old GNOME feel. At least in my opinion.
Gnome also has their own GNOME Classic for people yearning for the old GNOME experience. Cinnamon is probably better though.
Cinnamon is so close to the way I configured Gnome with extensions. Just that Cinnamon does not need any extensions for that. Best GTK based DE I think.
Or you just wait a little before you update or keep the extensions to small changes that are easier to update!
Nah, dash-to-panel is really good and makes it 10x better for me personally.
Most distro maintainers disagree as they also ship Gnome with extensions pre loaded. Gnome with some extensions is an awesome DE.
Conversely, after I tried vanilla gnome, I can't go back. It gets out of my way, is pretty bug free, visually consistent, and the workflow is lightyears ahead of anything else I've used.
The Win95 UX paradigm that pretty much everybody uses just seems so clunky to me.
I like and use it each day. Now who wins?
