  1. shell

    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.

  3. 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

  4. mate-hud

    Provides a way to run menubar commands through rofi, much like the Unity 7 Heads-Up Display (HUD).

  5. kairos

    Discontinued Desktop Linux for Creators [Moved to: https://github.com/rbreaves/sorun] (by rbreaves)

    First off.. this is not an official release like my Kinto project, but you can install https://ubuntubudgie.org and use their global menu or run my script which will fully configure everyone w/ my Kinto project and other various fixes.

  6. pocillo-gtk-theme

    GTK+ 3.22 & GTK+ 4 based theme for the Budgie Desktop that has Material Design elements and styled using the Arc colour palette

    First off.. this is not an official release like my Kinto project, but you can install https://ubuntubudgie.org and use their global menu or run my script which will fully configure everyone w/ my Kinto project and other various fixes.

  7. laptop-suggestions

    Repo to collect laptop design suggestions and feedback as issues.

    System76 is working on laptops designed in-house. It's a work in progress.

    You can offer suggestions for their laptop manufacturing project here:

  8. cosmic

    GNOME Shell extension. See cosmic-epoch for COSMIC Epoch

    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.

    Unity like HUD menu for the GNOME Desktop Environment using rofi menu.
