  • Lobotomizing Gnome

    Good observation.

    Turning off extensions is where OP lost me. In the last year, the single biggest quality of life improvement for me has been discovering the Argos[0] extension, which basically lets you put whatever text/menus you want in the top bar by writing scripts that print to stdout. To save space, I hid the dock (I use [1] as a replacement alt-tab), so the top bar is the only piece of screen that isn't OS chrome.

    On my top bar right now I have the time in four time zones (including the ever-important UTC to save a mental calculation when logging at logs), the name of the current Wifi access point, and some VPN details gleaned using a combination of ip r, ping, nc, and curl. Another extension shows free RAM. I look at them dozens of times a day.

  • The curse of being good in IT

    I’ve heard this called “the defaults lifestyle” on the Software Defined Talk podcast. I’m forever locked out of nirvana because I have an iPhone but not a Mac, but that’s fine.

    Occasionally plugins are worth the expense though. I finally discovered Argos[0] and I’m using it to show time in UTC and a couple other time zones. Super handy.

    But if I try some new software and find that I have to tweak it a bunch to make it usable, that means the devs have different aesthetics and I should probably try something else.

    If you want, you could make the extension yourself via Argos https://github.com/p-e-w/argos using https://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/ or using one of these https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/38867/is-it-possible-to-retrieve-the-active-window-process-title-in-gnome/122870
  • Kargos: Terminal Widget
    4 projects | /r/kde | 20 Jan 2022
    Hey Recently I found this widget named Kargos that shows terminal command output as a widget it uses Gnome's argos and BitBar (Mac) This gives a very nice opportunity to make your own custom widget.

    There is Argos. However, maintenance is unclear since the original developer steps down.

What are some alternatives?
