pocillo-gtk-theme VS shell

You're not really going to ever simply forget what OS you're on, if you are going for the mac look and feel. In my opinion you should be looking at https://ubuntubudgie.org and install my http://kinto.sh app, the global menu is easy to activate in Budgie. If you also really want imessage then you can also take a look at https://airmessage.org and setup a VM on another box if you need to - but you will need to gather some genuine mac values https://github.com/myspaghetti/macos-virtualbox.

First off.. this is not an official release like my Kinto project, but you can install https://ubuntubudgie.org and use their global menu or run my script which will fully configure everyone w/ my Kinto project and other various fixes.

Ah yes. I love Manjaro, I ran it on and off for a few yearas. I had to switch distros recently because of the many sub-versions of java and package management unfortunately. So I moved to Ubuntu Budgie. https://ubuntubudgie.org/

To clarify you mean Ubuntu Budgie right?

Other guy misspelled it, so here's a link.

TIL Ubuntu Budgie is a thing.

Linux often times lack polish and to me.. it is surprising how put together it can actually feel once you have both polish and functionality combined and that is the difficult part that you will rarely see. Try out ubuntubudgie.org and configure it to look like a Mac, if you are developer that uses a mac, and I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Unlike in past years there is a distro out there that has every component you need baked in besides xfce4-terminal, which to me is better than Tilix, and simpler looking.

If you want something different then I suggest you try out ubuntubudgie.org. https://www.reddit.com/r/UsabilityPorn/comments/ltfm2m/budgie_ubuntu_budgie_clean_and_simple/

GTK Theme: Pocillo-dark-slim.

sudo apt install git node-typescript make git clone https://github.com/pop-os/shell.git cd shell

If you use gnome, I can recommend Pop-Shell

https://github.com/pop-os/shell

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.

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.

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).

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]

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)

Just started playing with Pop Shell under GNOME, and I can see the allure.
