upgrade VS shell

Which I think should be similar to yours, and I ended up solving this following the git issues here https://github.com/pop-os/upgrade/issues/301

There is not a GUI way to set this up (found an open issue on it though so maybe Way to set up OEM mode in GUI #202), but after a normal install you can edit a few files to have the same effect. Including enabling encryption if the new user wants!

Good question! You might ask in chat.pop-os.org. All I can say is that this appears to be the backend for that button: https://github.com/pop-os/upgrade.

It's listed in their changelog on Github https://github.com/pop-os/upgrade/blob/master/changelogs/22.04

Keep a watch on this pull request: https://github.com/pop-os/upgrade/pull/223. When it’s merged into the master branch, the release is imminent.

From the release changelogs we can see a lot of activity around COSMIC and Pop-Shell, but probably more importantly was improvement to the Pop Recovery tool to work better with Pop-Upgrade. This system-saving marvel is getting better all the time! As mentioned above, system-level updates and stability improvements are included.

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

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.
