Blur my shell should be an official extension that a user can toggle on and off ootb. It makes Gnome 40 look much more modern and aesthetically pleasing. Love it.
ArcMenu, Dash to Panel, and Tiling Assistant are all incredibly useful for anyone switching over from windows (as that's what I'm doing right now) it makes the transition so much easier and more familiar
you mean you couldnt switch from windows to linux because of tiling features? cos yikes, linux has and has had the ability to mimic windows' tiling for years. Not that many do, since it's not a super good method comparatively speaking
@@forna4090 yeah, I knew it had to exists on Linux but I couldnt find it on Google or asking on Reddit. I found that the Linux implementation is superior to Windows as I have expected. Now, there this thing called snap groups in Windows 11 and I'm hoping there is something similar.
@@methamphetamememcmeth3422 I never really thought of using the word tiling. I have been searching for snap alternative for Gnome, gnome split screen and Gnome multitasking
Thanks a lot for this overview. "Dash to Panel" just saved me from getting insane. I've tried getting used to the gnome40 paradigm, but it drove me completely nuts. All I would need is a simple checkbox to make the builtin dock visible at all time at the bottom of the screen. This would avoid having to install an extensions. Plain vanilla Gnome40 is just a bit too plain for me...
I agree. Gnome 40 just feels like using an iPad on a desktop... Extensions make it a LOT better though, but a lot of the things extensions can add should just simply be the default.
Dash to Panel and Arc Menu to me are so much basic I can't use Gnome without them, then Hot Corners and Sound Input, finally most of the others you mentioned, I think most of us feel the same about Gnome Extensions
My 3 basics are Dash to Panel, ArcMenu and CPU Manager. One problem though with any gnome extension is when Gnome is upgraded it can take a while before some become compatible.
In my opinion we should try using gnome for what it is, instead of making it mimic kde or cinnamon etc. Customising gnome too much makes gnome lose its identity and at that point we are better off using cinnamon. Gnome sets a certain workflow and if we want something more traditional then we shouldn't go through the hassle of making gnome to something that it isn't. Everyone should try using gnome with very little customisation and the default theming. It has cured my DE/WM hopping (for now, atleast). Great showcase of the extensions though :)
Most people don't want to learn new ways and develop new workflow. They are strongly attached to their acquired habits, even if those are inefficient. Case in point: Window's Start Menu. It is not a good design (inefficient* use of screen real-estate) but many people are attached to it and even seek to replicate it on Linux desktop (silly, IMO). * Why the hell would you limit your apps listing to a small window in a corner of the screen? Your task in that very precise moment is to find and launch an app. Therefore, why not have most of the screen display the info relevant to that task? Start Menu: a small window, with sliding menus and scrolling list -- totally inefficient. But many users are so accustomed to and familiar with this that they don't even question this design.
Can you explain why this is needed? When you are looking for an app, why be confined to a smaller menu instead of a full (or quasi full) screen listing of your apps?
@@Dee-Ell i think most people are used to a small box to search for stuff that doesn’t take you away from what you have open. Especially if they are used to windows
@@Meat-Puppet That's what I don't understand: "take away" from what? Your task in that precise moment is to find and launch an app. Therefore, what you have open is irrelevant. So, wouldn't you want more apps listed and more visible on screen than being limited to a small window in a corner of the screen? Even if you type a search string, wouldn't you want more matches to appear front and center and easily visible? But I think you kinda nailed it with your last sentence: because some people are just used to Windows. They are so accustomed to that design and workflow that they confound acquired habit with truly good design and efficient workflow.
@@Dee-Ell Just imagine you're watching a video and you need to open an editor to take notes without missing anything... Also it's less mouse movement and the amount of icons displayed at once is not that different. They're just different trade-offs.
@@marcusaureliusf You open your notes editor by typing in a search box or with some keyboard shortcuts or by using some launcher widget. Done. If you know exactly what you want to launch, you usually don't use the apps listing. The apps listing is for browsing for apps when you don't really remember or know what you have installed. So, again, apps listing confined to a quarter of the screen is sub-optimal for browsing and is poor design, IMO.
I'm using Ubuntu for two weeks now. It's so much better than windows 11. Thank you so much for this video. Arc Menu, Vitalis and Dash to panel make Ubuntu perfect 😍
For *performance and compatibility* reasons I do my best to avoid the ones which interact with GNOME layout. My list in my PopOS! which I've had no OS issue so far: *OpenWeather, CPU Power Manager, GSConnect, Resource Monitor, Screenshot Tool, Auto Move Windows, Clipboard Indicator, Sound Input & Output Device Chooser, Multi Monitors Add-On.* As you see most of these do not mess with GNOME itself and are mostly hardware related stuff.
The big question here is: Do all of these extensions make gnome slow or unstable? I have had problems before with extensions, you update your system and some of the extensions start to act funny or stop working altogether. I think gnome has that problem, the desktop itself is so plain that you need a lot of extensions to make it usable, but those extensions are developed independently so ultimately the DE becomes a mess.
For this very reason I do my best to avoid the ones which interact with GNOME layout much. My list in my PopOS! which I've had no performance issue so far: *OpenWeather, CPU Power Manager, GSConnect, Resource Monitor, Screenshot Tool, Auto Move Windows, Clipboard Indicator, Sound Input & Output Device Chooser, Multi Monitors Add-On.* As you see most of these do not mess with GNOME itself and are mostly hardware related stuff.
screenshot tool autosave feature is gonna be so useful for me when i move to linux i usually just use snipping tool on windows on school videos and then go in temp then move them into folders
There's two in here that would actually be essential for me (Vitals, Screenshot tool). Thanks! Blur My Shell looks like a nice-to-have also. Instead of Impatience, I prefer to turn off animations entirely with GNOME Tweaks. Also prefer Pop OS's tiling window feature.
Many useful items. Question: In the end it looks and feels like a combo of KDE and Windows. So maybe it would be better to use KDE? The GNOME workflow is different, but I've found that it makes me more productive. But... That's the beauty of Linux - there are as many Linux setups as there are installations. Linux is AWESOME! 🙂
Another winner from TechHut, imho. This one packs a whole bunch of information into a relatively short video. I installed all of the extensions as recommended, although one of them is messing with my display, so I will have to handle that, but it's no big deal. I do like the idea of Gnome extensions, and it's a great way of customizing your DE to make it look and behave just how you want it to.
It looks like you got used to a Windows-like workflow. Most efficient for me. I don't like docks or dual panels as I think they are just waste of space; when you can just have them all in one panel.
@@malkogindrat Actually various Windows-like set-up distros can be set-up very different with different "start" menu layouts and different taskbars. People mostly criticize Windows for being sluggish and some dumb ideas like those dumb tiles in start menu. All the Windows-like layouts in Linux work better than in the original. Linux devs just took what's good from Windows and fixed it to make it better. Also many distros use Windows-like layout, because they want it to be accesible for new users which is a good approach. People who want something different can always easily modify the interface to make it Gnome 2 dual panel style, MacOS style or something else.
It all depends on setup. You can have global menu in the top panel and tons of applets, tray icons and bottom panel/dock for windows switching. Everything can be set to autohide if you want. My MacOS style layout in Linux Mint takes less space than Win10/11 panel with plank dock autohiding and avoiding windows.
It's only "most efficient" only because you are familiar with it and accustomed to it, due to time spent with it. The "Start Menu" is not even an efficient design -- a relatively small window in a corner of the screen listing apps, that you may have to scroll through and drill down to (more) sliding menus to find your app.

How about system-monitor instead of vitals, and gtile instead of tiling assistant (works like divvy on mac or displayfusion on win -- manual arrangement, not auto).
someone know why the extensions app doesn t work well, the buttons have some weird shadows and sometimes the options dissapears, im using manjaro, thks!
My fedora 40 for some reason is reading wrong wifi hardware on my laptop which is why I am only getting 1mbpd bitrate and internet is not working properly. Can anyone tell how to fix that?
I had an issue using dash to panel where the Lock Screen (gdm ) lost the top panel menu. I am now using dash to dock with auto hide and don’t have that issue anymore.
The easy way is to install an extension in Firefox first (may be it is called gnome extension). So when you will be on The gnome extension web page you will see a selector that enable a direct installation. Sorry for my bad english
@@paulb9769 Before Gnome 40 I just used the hot corner and then clicked on the bar, but in 40+ the extra distance from the corner to the bar is pretty annoying. I don't feel like I need an extension though because most of the time I launch programs with the $Super + Number shortcut or by hitting the shortcut to open the overview then typing the first couple letters of the program.
@@xthebumpx The dock/favorites bar is huge and it has no customization either. I have been using Plasma for the past few years now and the change to G40 has been a bit hard to get used to.

Arc menu is for windows users. I feel as though gnome's search feature is more than sufficient. It's easy enough that my 5 and 9 year old kids have been using it for a year now. Don't get in the habit of hanging on to something from 1995.
For further customization I would also use Menu Libre and Themix/Oomox. One to change the launchers on panel to a monochrome icon scheme and the other to make custom GTK themes and icon sets to really tie everything together with a wallpaper.

Very sorry Brandon, I was not able to attend any of your streams since, it becomes 11 PM here while you stream. I'd really love to speak with you! 💚😊

wow used GNOME for years and most of these are new to me
For further customization I would also use Menu Libre and Themix/Oomox. One to change the launchers on panel to a monochrome icon scheme and the other to make custom GTK themes and icon sets to really tie everything together with a wallpaper.
may i know who's the little guy with you?
