5:28 - Coincidentally exactly what I was looking for | Previously messed up with lots of commands in terminal but no luck, thanks for this tip.

2:15 A tip for those using older version of GNOME(I use 43.9): if add to desktop is not working, you have to download andenable DING(Desktop Icons NG) extension. By the way, it was a truly great video

[Timex]

Thank you for sharing interesting and useful content with the community.

First I have to say that I normally highly dislike generated voice tracks, but this one made me feel I was listening to a "real" person. Secondly, I just purchased an HP laptop with Ubuntu installed. Been working with it for a few days and thinking very seriously of switching to Mint or Zorin.

However, this video has revived my enthusiasm level so I'm willing to give Ubuntu / Gnome another chance to become fun to work with.

Thank you!

Love videos like this. Helps me see how to customize Linux more for my liking. I'm a Noob, but I'm learning from watching these videos. I plan to leave Win10 and come to Linux by Oct-2025.

This is a great video. It shows so many great extensions that I want to install a GNOME Linux Distrobution to try them.
I will buy a exta disc to install more Linux Distros. Or maybe use a VM.
Thank you for another, as always, great video!
Best regards.

The entire design evolution of gnome since 1999 turns to ashes with these extensions 😔

I haven't seen any extensions to do the following - maybe you have and you can help:

Is there a way to make EVERYTHING INVISIBLE, except, the background image?

Can you SELECTIVELY make things invisible as follows;
- the SUPERIOR TASKBAR, containing an icon of a disc on the left, the time and date in the middle, and power on/off, plus a few other items, on the extreme right - ROLL UP & OUT OF SIGHT when the mouse moves outside it's boundaries!
- the SEARCH BOX in the middle of the screen?
- the APPLICATIONS that scroll horizontally?
- and, they DOCKER at the bottom of the screen, (like Mac OS), rolling down and out of sight as the mouse leaves its area - as well as, each icon becoming LARGER as it appears to move TOWARDS you, in a convex shape, like Apple?

P.S. Can you also add DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS for each WORKSPACE - as well as, a DIFFERENT BACKGROUND for the Applications view?

Me used Ubuntu Studio 25.04 with KDE in development version and last release with last Gnome version. and Android emulator from Android Studio for 36 SDK - Android 16

[awesomenessss]

I love this video, super informative, makes linux experience op

[rohankumr]

Finally someone with sound recommendation and not making video for the sake of making videos.

[prakhars]

I have to say, the list is really good. Consider adding open bar and paperwm. paperwm is a scrolling tiling windows manager.

[fayizmuhammad]

Does these use of extensions leads to battery drainage of my laptop ?

[rogerskinene]

I set my ubuntu system 24.04 to light mode but all the system apps are in dark mode except my web browsers I tried changing themes for the legacy applications but the system seems to be unresponsive to thee settings. I am new to linux but tried all possible solutions suggested by pros but couldn't help

[Thomas-yj]

Dissapear effect when you minimize the windows, which extension did you use for it? Thks ❤❤❤

[timxllr]

Good thing that KDE has all of this built in ;)

[OwLuDyGamePlay]
