The two you have missing I would recommend: "Auto move window" if you use multiple workspace and "system monitor" to have a quick view of what is happening on the system
An interesting list of plug-ins. I'm essentially an Xfce guy, but I switched my two Fedora desktops to Gnome and stayed with it for several months. However, when Fedora would upgrade Gnome, at least one of the extensions would break and I'd have to fix it. (Perhaps Ubuntu is different?) This became tiresome, and I eventually switched back to Xfce. Most software upgrades are welcome to me, but when it comes to my desktop, I want something (1) stable, and (2) already close to the configuration I prefer. Perhaps I've become lazy in my old age. Cheers, and thanks for this video.
Videos like this are very helpful. I'm new to Linux and trying to learn how to use it better. This video shows me exactly what I need to be more productive. Thank you, NovaST ...
Which extension that is comparable to Window10's painter. Window10's painter works so great with mouse and keyboard for writing and drawing. I sometimes even use it to do some calculus rather than doing it on paper with a pencil.
The only extension I use is one to disable the workspace switch popup, I'm pretty used to the way default Gnome works so I don't really need to change anything. If I had to change something, instead of installing a ton of extensions I'd probably look for another DE that closely matches what I wanted.
There is one I miss in most Linux Distro's .... An app-launcher like Voyager Linux has where my apps automaticaly places in groups, on top of the screen
Thanks for share your list of extensions- found most of them very useful. But, I had trouble with Blur My Shell. Causes gnome to crash when taking screenshots.
@@NovaspiritTech I think it was wayland specific. It's already been reported here, github.com/aunetx/blur-my-shell/issues/1. Sorry should have included that in the original comment.
Why KDE over Gnome. Auto wallpapers, better tiling, fractional scaling, different wallpapers per monitor and per activity and workspace, more power with windows such as restoring their positions automatically, hiding borders (great for running Windows apps in VM), better shortcut settings, better sound outputs per app and it remembers between reboots and BT devices etc etc and all without broken extensions and 3rd party apps. What does gnome have over KDE? Nice animations?
I forgot, no need to open a browser for new themes, new cursors, new wallpapers, new applets, new fonts ALL built-in. No tweak tool or gnomelook website needed. I used gnome for years before KDE liberated me.
NO EXTENSIONS! Extensions are bad! Everyone who does not know what the difference between an (Gnome) Extension and an Gnome "Mini-Apps Dashboard" - Application is not, SHOULD NOT USE LINUX!
That Sound Input & Output Device Chooser was hella helpful. Thanks!
For those who like MacOS aesthetics, you can use dash-to-dock plugin instead :)
dash to panel also give you mac os look(dock in bottom & panel at top).
In my experience dash to panel gives finer tweaking ability

Transparent Window Moving - This extension look absolute fantastic :)
Impatince is nice because it speeds up the transition to the thing that shows all your desktops when you press the windows key

Thanks for showing what they do and don't do, so we know what it's for

Nice. It helps that I've not used Windows in 20 years! For clipboard, try Pano. It's way better!

Thank you very much for making this video , some of the extensions really help me!!
good video friend, a query how to do to put the bar down and have the icons on the right side and above have nothing?
Nitpick: The "G" in "gnome" is not silent.
great video I am going to check this out!
1:29 normal
1:43 blur extention
It looks like a bug this little extention breaks the animation when the background goes bright.
Yes, I became aware of this bug by accident! But it is now gone (just a one line fix)
(I am the maintainer of this extension btw)
Gnome is awesome! Thank u 🙏🏿
I would love to use wintile, but after installing it it still use the windows focus default settings of the system :( i use popOS :/

It's a new dev now for arc menu, you need to switch extension
Try extensions.gnome.org/extension/2857/maximize-to-workspace-with-history/ with touchegg/libinput gestures for mac like maximize window management.
