21 Best GNOME Extensions I Use and Recommend

[@PoeLemic]

Yes, please, keep making videos like this, because not every Linux user has spent a lot of time with the GUI and has found all of these. Honestly, thank you for sharing all of these. SUPERB !!!

[@Itsfoss]

Thanks for the feedback. More such videos on our to-do list :)

This is really an incredible video about many useful Extensions. I'm new to Linux and trying to learn how to tweak my UI some. Please, keep showing stuff like this. Also, I saw an article recently that listed multiple CLI apps that you can use in place of the most common LInux apps. You create aliases for some of these commands. Like a fancier directory lister. Etc. Here is the article, "I Replaced Default Linux Commands With These Powerful Alternatives". I really learned quite a lot from it. Maybe, you could find some of those commands and make videos about it.

[@Itsfoss]

Thanks for this suggestion as well. We shall make videos around these topics too.

[@sudipchatterjee]

Thanks much! 🙌 My favorites are Caffeine, Blur My Shell, and Extension Manager.

[@Itsfoss]

Thanks for sharing your favorites, Sudip.

My favorite Gnome extension is Cover Flow - which gives a nive graphicsl look for when one ALT-Tabs through your open applications. Any if the various extensions that put the temperature and a weather icon hu the clock are also very useful.

[@Itsfoss]

Those are good suggestions. Thanks.

Thank you so much! I'm saving this for future reference. Gnome stock is kinda sparse and outright missing critical stuff (notification icons, for instance), and this guide is a great reference and something I can send people newer to Linux. :)

[@Itsfoss]

That's a good thought. More new people need to know about the existence of GNOME extrensions.

[@derekr54]

Very useful thanks.

[@Itsfoss]

Glad you found it helpful :)

Though gnome is great DE, it doesn't work for me, but recently they've done something good. I love KDE plasma. You guys create really good FOSS content ❤❤❤

[@Itsfoss]

We shall do some videos on KDE as well :)

Thank you for another great video. Can you do a video on mounting discs, lots of people got problems with that and Ubuntu sometimes unmount discs after reboot.

[@Itsfoss]

Glad you liked the video. About your suggestion, Mounting discs as in have a multi disk system with addition disks being auto mounted?

[@RDJ134]

@@Itsfoss Sorry for the verry late reply. But yes i have a second HDD in my system and avery reboot i need to click on the second drive to mount it. Using Ubuntu 22.04 It;s would be nice if it got reconised every boot :)

[@Itsfoss]

@@RDJ134 You can automount the device by adding its UUID in fstab entry. I'll make a tutorial on it.

[@vikas_kr]

[@Itsfoss]

Good suggestion. Will see if it is possible now.

[@Itsfoss]

Chapters are added now :)

[@Itsfoss]

Depends on what you need and if you need detailed info or not.
