I dont necessarily agree.

  • a different clipboard manager (whatever is equal to KDEs)
  • blur my shell
  • quick settings tweaker probably
  • privacy settings (which is only for pipewire apps I guess, so nearly none)
  • wiggle
  • probably some maximize to workspace

I literally don't understand how people use Gnome without extensions. We must be built different or I'm slow

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 3 points 8 months ago

Same, that video is pretty silly but many extensions are really awesome.

  • blur my shell: just make it look beatiful instead of a bit ugly
  • appindicators: needes to basic app support
  • more quicksettings are always good
  • window decorations: why doesnt GNOME have a maximize button, this makes no sense

With those extensions though, GNOME is pretty cool. I prefer KDE a lot, and even though I hope to be able to use workspaces smoothly one day (which is still not easy in KDE I think) I am pretty happy.

But if you think about it, not having workspaces is a total pain.

why doesnt GNOME have a maximize button

Probably because you can double-click the window 'bar' to achieve the same.

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 3 points 8 months ago

Interesting. KDE too but you also have a button. Makes more sense to control windows through buttons instead of a button, a doubleclick on a bar and a keystroke (meta)

The reason it was cut is more about the drag action, dragging to panel maximizes and grabbing it will automatically restore it down. It's basically combined with the move window action.

Thats also how it works on KDE :D

Just not on Cosmic, I hope they add that

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
