A terminal had to change the name from Terminix to Tilix due to trademark issues, even though one is a terminal and the other is a pest killer.

Ask HN: What GNOME Shell extensions do you use?

I'm currently using 4 extensions.
system-monitor (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/120/system-monitor/). It is nice to see my CPU and memory usage at a glance with some history. I don't look too often but it can be good for understanding how builds are progressing, check that my software is utilizing parallelism well and see when things are in an infinite loop gobbling RAM.
Clipboard History (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4839/clipboard-histor...)
I can't live without a clipboard manager, this seems to do a decent job.
Bing Wallpaper (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1262/bing-wallpaper-c...)
I don't see my wallpaper often but when I open the menu or log in it is nice to have a new beautiful picture.
AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-supp...)
I like icons in my toolbar.

1 project | /r/Fedora | 5 May 2023

it's this one. no idea if it's standard or I added it, this is a system that was upgraded from F34. but the microstutters were driving me nuts and disabling it fixed it for good. I've moved over to the Trayicons Reloaded extension, as I need the tray icons for various apps and this issue hadn't occurred since.

It is probably hidden in the tray that doesn't exist. You could use this extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/
