Celebrating 5 Years of Pop _OS
I just had NixOS break in a weird way for me. Ok, it was more that Gnome 42.4 broke the wsmatrix extension, which caused Gnome to shit itself[1] on login.
It's a little bit of a double edged sword. NixOS lets me use pretty much straight upstream packages, which sometimes break due to not having thorough integration testing like a traditional distro would. On the other hand, I was able to just boot up an older configuration to get back to functional, and that let me figure out wtf was wrong.

Problems with wall of workspaces
Hej, recently updated my laptop to 22.04 but after some years getting use to unity and 2 extra screens now seems i cannot find my way to have a decent wall of workspaces... i found a nice extension that works fine (https://github.com/mzur/gnome-shell-wsmatrix) but only seems to create the workspace wall on the latop screen and not on the other external screens...
- How do I change the Gnome shell from 42.0 to 42.1 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS?

Why you prefer horizontal workspaces?

System76 - New Desktop Environment Written in Rust Expected Summer 2023
My main concern is a 2D grid for workspaces, with workspace previews in the workspace switcher popup. Workspace Matrix does an excellent job of adding this to GNOME.

Embrace fall with Dracula Theme
it will assign a new font to the extension. Then you may use an icon font, such as Font Awesome, Icofont or icomoon (which also allows you to create your own!). You can then change the workspace names with dconf-editor with the characters from the font. PM me if you need any help :)

Tiling window manager/DE
On GNOME there's a way to get native 2 dimensional workspaces, but AFAIK the only way to enable this is with an extension like workspace matrix. For ctrl+alt+arrow-like shortcuts be sure to set keybindings for switch-to-workspace-arrow and move-to-workspace-arrow in org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings. However, I had some issues with GNOME 40 like: - Changing workspaces with mouse scroll jumps to an adjacent workspace up/down (as expected). Without a device that has horizontal scroll (like a touchpad) you can't go to adjacent workspaces left/right. - There are multiple issues with the workspace thumbnails in the overview.

How do I debug global keybinds (I'm using Pop!_OS, but I doubt it's Pop!_OS specific)
Ok, so, I'm using Workspace Matrix for a workspace grid.

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)

What was a tech or feature your dismissed as unnecessary initially, but turned out to be wrong?
Just started playing with Pop Shell under GNOME, and I can see the allure.
What are some alternatives?
shelltile - A tiling window extension for GNOME Shell
i3-gnome - Use i3wm/i3-gaps with GNOME Session infrastructure.
sway - i3-compatible Wayland compositor
blur-my-shell - Extension that adds a blur look to different parts of the GNOME Shell, including the top panel, dash and overview
argos - Create GNOME Shell extensions in seconds
gnome-shell-extension-system76-power - System76 Power Management Extension
vertical-overview - Gnome has had vertically stacked workspaces for a long time. The Gnome 40 update unfortunately made the switch to a horizontal layout. A choice that many Gnome users disagree with. This extension completely replaces the new Gnome overview with something that resembles the old style.
Tiling-Assistant - An extension which adds a Windows-like snap assist to GNOME. It also expands GNOME's 2 column tiling layout.
gnome-shell-extension-freon - Shows CPU temperature, disk temperature, video card temperature (NVIDIA/Catalyst/Bumblebee&NVIDIA), voltage and fan RPM
PaperWM - Tiled scrollable window management for Gnome Shell
polybar - A fast and easy-to-use status bar
system76-scheduler - Auto-configure CFS and process priorities for improved desktop responsiveness
