Ask HN: What GNOME Shell extensions do you use?
I'm currently using 4 extensions.
system-monitor (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/120/system-monitor/). It is nice to see my CPU and memory usage at a glance with some history. I don't look too often but it can be good for understanding how builds are progressing, check that my software is utilizing parallelism well and see when things are in an infinite loop gobbling RAM.
Clipboard History (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4839/clipboard-histor...)
I can't live without a clipboard manager, this seems to do a decent job.
Bing Wallpaper (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1262/bing-wallpaper-c...)
I don't see my wallpaper often but when I open the menu or log in it is nice to have a new beautiful picture.
AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-supp...)
I like icons in my toolbar.
- What are some of the wallpapers yall use with vanilla GNOME?
-
Is there an OS that has worse wallpapers than Fedora? It is so devoid of humanity it's like they were handpicked by an AI bot that hates humans. What the hell were they thinking??
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1295/google-earth-wallpaper/ or https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1262/bing-wallpaper-changer/ and you'll never have to see these again.

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.
