    Well, if you don’t like customize it with using plugins that break every time that gnome gets an update, gnome 3 could be fine…

      If you feel like you need lots of plugins, use KDE Plasma instead. It can be customized to work very similar to Gnome3 out of the box, and has a lot more options.

      Fun fact, most extensions don’t even break, they just have a fixed value as a compatibile version… A popular example is, GS connect, it was marked as incompatible with gnome 44, but by editing the compatible version, it worked fine.

        That makes sense, and yet the people who actually use *nix tend to be knowledgeable about features that other DEs provide and miss having at least a few of them in their workflow.

          two schools of though even amongst the nix nerds, some will praise it’s minimalism as “not getting in the way”, though usually minimalism is praise because of it’s low ressource requirements with is certainly not the case of gnome

      Wish there was a first-party clipboard manager in GNOME so I don’t have to hunt for an extension
