Distro hopping from Pop_OS to Fedora
That's why in Gnome, you need a shell extension instead of an app. Shell extensions are written specifically for Gnome, and the documentation sucks, so immediately you have way fewer options. BUT, guess what: PoP OS launcher is a Gnome shell extension (which is why it worked for you), and you can use that in any distro using Gnome, including Fedora. However, it is that it's part of pop-shell, so you also get the other UI customizations (mostly keyboard shortcuts for tiling that you can disable I think). It also requires setting up the back-end service to handle the non-ui side. Maybe there are Fedora packages for it that makes it easier (I don't use Fedora myself, so wouldn't know).

Is it possible to re-arrange and/or prioritize results in the launcher? Searching for Steam doesn't bring up Steam as a top eight result - just things that have Steam in the description.
I might take a look at that. Is this the right repo?

If the Pop Launcher could do anything, what would you want it to do?
Just to be clear, you are talking about the Pop Launcher and not the Cosmic Applications Launcher, correct? (since there may be some confusion around what the "Pop Launcher" is vs. the "Cosmic Applications Launcher" ... see https://imgur.com/a/XN34drv for images)

Is it possible to make the launcher that appears when you press the super key not be used to focus on already opened apps? I only use the launcher to start an app, or to do calculations, and never to switch what app is in focus. Is there a way to disable this feature?
This feature has been merged but not yet released: https://github.com/pop-os/launcher/issues/152

Some updates coming to Pop Launcher
You can open any website in your default browser using the "www" pattern, e.g. "www reddit.com" (note, no "." after the "www") github

Things I learned using gnome and fedora
You can get pop-shell and pop-launcher in fedora.

Pop launcher doesn't list Steam in results - games on steam are prioritized instead
The last improvement was feat(service): prefer recently/often used applications in search which may have caused this.

How do I make an alias for the 'recent' plugin (cosmic launcher)?
In the cosmic launcher I use the plugin "recent" to open recent files. I would like to have a shorter keyword for this, like "fr" (for find recent). What is the best way to do this? I have looked at the readme for pop-os/launcher, but copying the system recent plugin to a new one at ~/.local/share/pop-launcher/plugins/fr doesn't work, and breaks the system version. When I remove ~/.local/share/pop-launcher/plugins/fr, then the system version starts working again.

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)
