How do you guys make good use of the app grid? I feel like I use it way less than I originally thought.

    Alphabetically order GNOME's app grid and folders

  • I personally use the Alphabetical App Grid extension, and have all the apps outside of folders. I rarely use the app grid as I usually just use Super + to launch from the dash or type to search and open, but I will use it sometimes if I am unable to type at the moment for any reason. So I'll just scroll through the sorted list until I can find and open the app.

  • Ulauncher

    Feature rich application Launcher for Linux

  • NOTE: If you're using a Wayland session, the Ctrl + Space shortcut (which brings up the launcher) will be unreliable due to other windows eating the keyboard events instead (see the official Ulauncher wiki). The workaround solution is very simple and also works on X11, so we'll replace Ulauncher's default binding with the workaround technique everywhere, so that it works universally on both X11 and Wayland.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
