geckolinux-project VS shell

According to a reply on the 3rd post of this forum page, what do I need to do to apply GeckoLinux font rendering config files on my endeavouros system. I am using KDE Plasma btw. I have tried moving the specified config files to the /etc/geckolinux folder which I created and linking them with the same numbered name with ln -s. Is this what I need to do according to this post to get GeckoLinux's font rendering config applied to my system?

If you want a very simple approach to openSUSE, you can consider geckolinux, an openSUSE derivative that smooths some in the rough edges of openSUSE by setting on your behalf some sensible defaults.

I updated , well I tried to, when everything was jacked up last night. I'll have to see if it hosed my install when I get home from neck surgery tomorrow. Has anyone played with gecko Linux? It's a spin on tumbleweed

SpiralLinux was created by the same guy who made Gecko Linux.

Finally, Geckolinux is a derivative that smooths the first impact with openSUSE.

I am currently aware of 2 distros based on openSUSE. 1. Gecko Linux 2. RegataOS

sudo apt install git node-typescript make git clone https://github.com/pop-os/shell.git cd shell

If you use gnome, I can recommend Pop-Shell

https://github.com/pop-os/shell

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.

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.

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).

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]

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)

Just started playing with Pop Shell under GNOME, and I can see the allure.
