material-shell VS flameshot

I really want https://material-shell.com/ for MacOS

it was perfect for using a single monitor

kinda like a deterministic alt+tab, you set up the layout of "workspaces" and they're always in the same place

I keep getting annoyed at alt+tab because I accidentally clicked on another window and now the order is messed up

I'm confused. How does that work? Is it like a GNOME extension or something; similar to how Material Shell works?

check this gnome plugin https://github.com/material-shell/material-shell

I don't know too much about that. You can achieve a lot with gnome extensions. And if you'd like to build your own and see what's possible, check out the source code of Material Shell

Website: https://material-shell.com/

Material Shell has Gnome 44 support: https://github.com/material-shell/material-shell/releases/tag/44

But you might want to try out Gnome first, with one of the many tiling extensions, or perhaps Material Shell for a Tiling like WM experience

Has anyone used Material Shell? It looks like it will do the tiling for me.

Hi, I'm working on Ubuntu 22.04.1 with Gnome 42.5. I used to be able to install shell extensions just fine with the Chrome extension. However (I think since (un)installing the Material Shell Extension), I can't install any extension anymore, not via the Chrome extension, not via the terminal (`gnome-extensions install -f ...`). In the browser, the switch is available and clickable, but nothing simply happens. Via the terminal, no feedback at all is given. When going over the [source code](https://github.com/material-shell/material-shell) of the material shell, it seems that it tampers with some extensions and God knows what else... Via `dconf` I had to enable the allowance of extensions (`disable-user-extensions`), also something Material Shell probably did. I uninstalled Material Shell according to the docs, but of course, not everything is undone...

I'm using flameshot ( https://flameshot.org/ ), which sounds pretty similar, but FOSS and cross platform.

For your screenshots simply use Flameshot: https://flameshot.org

First, conceptually this is what I mean: think about when using a good screen-capture/annotation tool like flameshot: you select a region of the screen, and "magic" you can "edit" it, "in situ". No, what I'm talking about wouldn't share any of the same technical underpinnings with the way flameshot works, it would be the live monitor output, not a raster dump of the screen made to look like it's live. And the annotating would be done on a different screen. But as a user, this is pretty similar.

Flameshot is a free and open-source screenshot tool for Linux that allows users to take screenshots of an area, a window or the full screen. It then provides an editor where users can modify the screenshots by drawing on them, adding text, highlighting areas, blurring parts and more. Users can save the screenshots in common image formats like PNG and JPEG, and upload them directly to image hosting sites like Imgur.

I would recommend Flameshot, available on Linux, Windows and Mac.

This https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/1529 mat or may not be an issue for you with Flameshot, but it may be for others. It's solvable if it is an issue by using mandatory access control such as AppArmor or conditional build. Just FYI.

Flameshot viene con todo eso.
