    Pop!_OS Shell

  • Also note that you can install the automatic tiling extension in other GNOME-based distros, you necessarily don't need PopOS to use it (though I had some weird bugs with it in Manjaro, it's probably going to be more unstable than PopOS's integration)

  • docklike-plugin

    A Dock-like Taskbar Plugin for XFCE

  • every update i try gnome, and every time i end up nuking the partition

    the UX is oppressive and huge, it feels slow, it feels heavy it's everything i hate about macOS without the things i like about macOS

    XFCE is a much better choice, it's the definition of a desktop OS, lightweight and slim, pair it with [1] and you get a windows like experience
