P.S.A Stop telling people to avoid single wine prefixes
You can't combine them, and if you try, you're almost certainly going to have a bad time. But on a BTRFS file system, you can deduplicate all the data between them. I run that script on my own setup, and the space savings from so doing are significant.

With Proton being as good as it is now, do we still need separate prefixes for every game?
Prefix deduplication has massive space savings potential. I made a script that you can run periodically that handles running duperemove on installed Proton versions and the compatdata folder for BTRFS filesystems: vacuum-steamplay

System76: A Case Study on How Not To Collaborate With Upstream
I also dislike the spacious padding that GTK tends to use. I have tweaks that I use for GTK3 gtk.css that make the UI more compact. We can almost certainly still do that here, we just need to sit down with the Adwaita demo and the GTK inspector and just start poking and tweaking.
- I've created a script so I can use NVIDIA on-demand offloading without going crazy

GNOME 41: Cleaning up Header Bars
The only way to change the UI density is with xdg-config/gtk-{3,4}.0/gtk.css. You can use @import to split the changes across multiple files. Here is what I use to slim down GTK3. You also need this tweak for the headerbar height to not be decided by an invisible "sizing box".

Rethinking Window Management in Gnome
If you use gnome, I can recommend Pop-Shell
https://github.com/pop-os/shell
- Why can't we have window management on a desktop environment ?
- Help. I’m using the PopOS tile windows extension(not on popOS) and most apps when opens after boot opens in a weird zoomed way as shown.

Best extension to mimic tiling windows manager?
Pop Shell is what I use, and it works really well (not available on the GNOME extensions store, get it from here, installation instructions are present near the bottom). Forge is another great option. If you want to completely change the look of Gnome, and have a completely different experience, try Material Shell, another awesome tiling extension.

Exterminate your desk: How to remove your mouse
I quite like Pop!_OS Shell (https://github.com/pop-os/shell) for tiling on Gnome, it feels like the right compromise for me of tiling while still having access to a full DE. Seems that installing it on other distribution should be easy enough.

Tiling speed
Is there a config of speed in PopShell https://github.com/pop-os/shell/tree/b5acccefcaa653791d25f70a22c0e04f1858d96e where we can adjust the speed of tiling? Just saying that extention like impatient only adjust the speed of animation, not the actual tiling or windows pops up (example would be archive manager pop-up).

Vanilla OS 2.0 Orchid base is changing from Ubuntu to Debian
One of my best friends uses the Pop Shell [1] GNOME extension to bring in an i3-like experience. It seems to lag behind a few GNOME versions, but system76 has instructions on how to use it on other distributions if you don't want to use Pop!_OS [2]

Why KDE Plasma was chosen as the default desktop environment for Asahi Linux
I am actually a pretty happy GNOME user -- granted, it is due to being able to tweak my experience with GNOME extensions and managing the aspects I care about with dconf settings managed with Home-Manager/Nix.
These are the GNOME extensions I find critical to me enjoying the UI:
- PopOS' Shell[0] for tiling windows
- Just Perfection[1] for making the appearance even more minimal/removing elements I don't use
I think if the GNOME team removed extension support altogether, I would absolutely switch to KDE. But for now, I get an extremely minimal desktop, and I really like it.
That being said, I typically live in my terminal, so I don't spend much time actually using the tools provided with my desktop environment.
(Just want to vocalize that there is at least one person who enjoys GNOME's approach of visually staying out of my way, but giving me a robust backend when I need it)
