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.

How much or little do you prefer to customize Fedora (GNOME) via extensions?
I happily used vanilla GNOME in the past for many years. Unfortunately they've been making some questionable changes recently, and now I need to use extensions to undo those changes... Essential extensions for me are Panel Corners, and either Vertical Overview or V-Shell.

Extensions you can't live without?
Vertical Overview — To bring back the objectively superior vertical overview that was used to have with stock GNOME.

Vertical Workspaces - an extension that gives you vertical workspace orientation and lets you customize the Activities Overview layout
How is this better or different than vertical overview? https://github.com/RensAlthuis/vertical-overview

Gnome shell interface inverts when I set a right-to-left language. I don't want this. How do I revert this without changing my interface language?
Easier might be to look for existing extensions which ignore Clutter.TextDirection.* altogether, and try to recreate/improve the GNOME Shell from them. To Starte, perhaps you're interested in bringing the Vertical Overview back?, I think all dash-to-* extensions order icons from left-to-right, or have some setting to invert the order, some let you change the position of each element like dash-to-panel.

I extracted the code for my favorite feature in Vertical Overview: full-screen wallpaper in Overview
I'm used to horizontal workspaces and even prefer them, but the Vertical Overview extension had the feature of "static background" and "hide scaling workspaces" that I really liked. So, I extracted the code responsible for those into a new extension.

Survey about vertical overview removal
I was and still am very disappointed with the overview changes. I'm someone who has happily used stock GNOME for years and years. I've always tried to avoid extensions and custom themes, as I actually like the stock experience and appreciate the design decisions the GNOME team has made. But this overview change I really just cannot agree with. It forced me to go to the vertical-overview extension, but unfortunately that isn't really the same as how it was.

Anyone Using Gnome Without Extensions?
I was using GNOME without extensions for years, and loved it. Unfortunately with the latest release of GNOME I've had to start using the vertical-overview extension, since they redesigned the native overview screen in a way that's objectively inferior.

Unpopular opinion: I used to dislike Gnome and it was my least favorite DE up until Gnome 40. The main reason I like it now is the horizontal workflow.
The icons are kind of useful, the Vertical Overview extension I use keeps them)

dash-to-panel - An icon taskbar for the Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash into the gnome main panel so that the application launchers and system tray are combined into a single panel, similar to that found in KDE Plasma and Windows 7+. A separate dock is no longer needed for easy access to running and favorited applications.
