gnome-shell-extension-appindicator VS cosmic

If you use Gnome as DE, you also have to install this Gnome extension for fcitx5 to work.

GNOME Extensions : quick-settings-tweaker, appindicator and KStatusNotifier, arcmenu, blur-my-shell, dash-to-panel, forge, gsconnect, just-perfection, show-desktop-button, space-bar, user-themes and vitals

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.

- Pop Shell for i3-like tiling (fuck stacking) _remove from store (?)_- Workspace indicator by open apps: I need to know what's in my dynamic workspaces, not just a simple indicator or number _little ad, developed by me_- AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support for tray icons (background apps)

Have you tried using this extension? that's the extension that pop os and ubuntu uses, for me it worked as expected with league on fedora

You need to install an extension like this one.

Use a different extension: AppIndicator an KStatusNotifierItem Support, conveniently packaged as gnome-shell-extension-appindicator.

it's this one. no idea if it's standard or I added it, this is a system that was upgraded from F34. but the microstutters were driving me nuts and disabling it fixed it for good. I've moved over to the Trayicons Reloaded extension, as I need the tray icons for various apps and this issue hadn't occurred since.

It is probably hidden in the tray that doesn't exist. You could use this extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/

They are both called Cosmic to make things less confusing.

Download the source code of the COSMIC Desktop: git clone https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic

I think there might be some confusion in this poll and thread -- COSMIC is the name of both a suite of components in Pop_Shell, which modifies (but does not replace) GNOME shell components like the dock and workspaces, as well as a full-fledged desktop environment that replaces GNOME.

I'm using PopOS with Wayland on a Surface Go 2, and can't find a way to switch between workspaces and apps using multitouch gestures. There's a bug report here touching on these issues but I'm wondering of anyone has found a good workaround or fix for this. Any advice appreciated!

FWIW, I've also created a Github issue on the subject: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic/issues/386

The 'Cosmic' name also indicates that; see https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic.

Just to be clear, you are talking about the Pop Launcher and not the Cosmic Applications Launcher, correct? (since there may be some confusion around what the "Pop Launcher" is vs. the "Cosmic Applications Launcher" ... see https://imgur.com/a/XN34drv for images)
