I use the following:

  • AppIndicator/KStatusNotifierItem support(Most apps rely on trays so this is useful)
  • Clipboard Indicator(I wish Gnome natively had this but its fine Cinnamon doesnt to)
  • Desktop Logo
  • Gtile(I want a tiling window manager like thing for Gnome i heard its faster)
  • Quick Settings Audio Panel
  • GSConnect (Looks better,Integrates better with GNOME)
  • Alphabetical App Grid
  • Arch LINUX Updater
  • Removable Drive Menu

i created this cause i wonder who uses Gnome on the Fediverse without plugins and maybe Gnome Tweaks and i may find some useful extensions here
Also Cinnamon users may count aswell but idk this is primary focused on GNOME
i also like my GNOME almost stock

KDE Plasma user of 4 years here, I am currently giving GNOME a try with Fedora Workstation. Reading through here, I'm going to try a few new extensions, thanks a lot :)

My currently used extensions are:

  • AATWS (advanced alt-tab window switcher)
  • Clipboard Indicator
  • Vitals (system resource usage)
  • AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support
  • Caffeine
  • Launch New Instance
  • No overview at start-up
  • Places Status Indicator
  • Workspace Indicator

There's a feature I'm really missing though. On KDE Plasma 5 the clipboard manager opened a window right below your mouse on pressing Super+V. This window showed all the clipboard entries, was text-searchable and I could navigate and use/enter clipboard entries with my keyboard. Does anybody know of something like this for GNOME?

I used to use Pano for that, but it's extension page hasn't been updated since GNOME 45, so I switched to Clipboard History instead. It's not quite as pretty (just a normal popup menu, no previews) but it is actually nicer to use, in my opinion.

Both options can be bound to Super+V, that's exactly the key combo I use for it.

Thanks to you I realized, Clipboard Indicator can do that too. So now I bound Super+V to show the clipboard, and I can search it with the keyboard, select entries, etc.

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.
