    Pop!_OS Shell

  • I really like Pop!_OS' tiling feature but the one thing that really bugs me is you can't disable windows always raising on hover. You're meant to be able to tweak it using Gnome Tweaks however disabling the option and enabling tiling means flinging your mousing anywhere causes all the windows in its track to raise to the front. If you've got a floating window it just disappears behind the stack.

    Theres an open issue[1] but it hasn't been solved yet.

  • gnome-shell-extended-gestures

    Better touchpad gesture handling for GNOME

  • Gnome 3 has gesture support. I don't think many are built in, certainly not as many as mac OS gives you out of the box. But you can go wild: https://github.com/mpiannucci/gnome-shell-extended-gestures

  • cosmic

    Computer Operating System Main Interface Components

  • I found the source code: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic

    It's just an extension for gnome-shell 3.38. So not a fork, but it might still delay them in upgrading to GNOME40.
