- Gnome 44's virtual keyboard

Gnome on a tablet

Distro + DE for SGo 1
If you want wo stick to GNOME (it still has the best touch experience of all desktop DEs in my experience) you could try the improved-osk-extension. It can make the OSK much bigger and has some other neat features. Another touch friendly DE is Phosh which is actually developed for Linux phones and completely optimized for Touch although it doesn't support everything you would expect from a desktop DE since it's mainly optimized for phones (and tablets). You could also try KDE Plasma Mobile but in my experience it wasn't reliable and has many bugs and crashed a lot.

What extensions would you most like to see for Gnome?
The newest 'Improved OSK' is made by NickShymrev and he's actively working on a Rewrite for GNOME 43 which will use the terminal mode of the keyboard to be more stable and will include the option to force the osk making the 'Force OSK' extension not needed. You can find the issue here: https://github.com/nick-shmyrev/improved-osk-gnome-ext/issues/30 and the 43 branch here: https://github.com/nick-shmyrev/improved-osk-gnome-ext/tree/gnome_43_rewrite

Any better on-screen keyboard?
Try the gnome 43 rewrite. It works, but there's no way to remove the text suggestions
- Thank you Ubuntu, very cool.

For the first time, I'm not upgrading to the new release
I mean.... yeah! Thats exactly what you should be doing. Upgrading your OS when not all your essential software is supported is bad practice to begin with and most non-rolling Distro support previous version for a bit (Fedora 38 will be supported for 6 months after the release of 39 for example). The extension manager app has a great "upgrade assistant" that lets you easily see which of your extension was already ported. Most extensions were already ported and the rest will probably follow shortly after Gnome 45 hits major distros. GSconnect already merged a PR so their release will be soon.

Question about extensions on GNOME
https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/releases/tag/v55 does not mention security fixes. Do you have more information?

Things You Can Do with KDE Connect on Linux
I'm using GSConnect on Ubuntu. I have first disabled "Clipboard Sync". There are a number of Actions for which keyboard shortcuts can be defined for a device [1]. One of them is Clipboard Push. I assigned Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V to that, so whenever I execute that contrived key combination, the clipboard is synced to my mobile. I suppose KDE Connect has a similar feature.

The road to KDE Connect 2.0
it works, but the github says the project doesn't have dedicated developers. https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/wiki
- Is there a way to refresh GSconnect once in a while or assign a shortcut to refresh it? I want a command which can be used to refresh GSconnect, I will just assign a key to it.
