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)

What was a tech or feature your dismissed as unnecessary initially, but turned out to be wrong?
Just started playing with Pop Shell under GNOME, and I can see the allure.

Amazon Prime Video Will Start Showing Ads on January 29
You can get Lutris: It's an open source launcher that you login into with GOG account and it will download the games and wrap them with Wine, similar to Steam.
https://lutris.net/

Making the switch - what are the gaps?
For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

WoW Season of Discovery freezes on every honorable kill!
Can I suggest you head over to the lutris.net site and follow the link the lutris discord - with what you are describing, it would take me 20 minutes to get the base battle.net working so you can see what is causing your issue or 3 days back and forwards here. As a hint, your wine version has known issues, and unless you manually installed the lutris 0.5.14 from the git page in Mint, or are running flatpak, you have other issues related to that

Lutris how to make Nvidia primary Gpu
Hmmm I remember there was some confusion in Lutris around this, like https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/4237 , and I had to do some workaround. But I can't check what exactly right now...

Windows 11 is last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros
As a data point, you can run a fair number of Windows games under Proton by using Lutris instead of Steam:
* https://lutris.net
* https://github.com/lutris/lutris
It's an OSS game launcher that takes the place of Steam, and you can set things up to run locally so you don't even need an account on their system (lutris.net).

I recommend using the repos, but WINE HQ if you need it ( https://www.winehq.org/ ) * Lutris is a front-end to WINE which makes installing and running non-Steam games easy. It can be found in the repos ( https://lutris.net/ ) * How-To videos for setting up various distros for gaming ( https://www.youtube.com/@IntelligentGaming2020/videos ).
