I made an article listing the best Gnome shell extensions. Hopefully you’ll find something new. Let me know if there’s a good extension I missed.

    So according to your logic, non GNOME/KDE DEs are feature filled and not barebones? Did you not configure and modify i3wm or XFCE and use it as stock, or do you need any features?

    Making fun of people who may need extra functions never comes off as good, especially when you call the vast GNOME extension library just a bunch of “basic desktop functionality”.

      Hmm, I think you misunderstood. I am a KDE user and apprechiate that basic desktop functionality comes build in with it, while on GNOME it seems previously available desktop features continue to be removed and most GNOME users depend on 3rd party extensions to make GNONE a functional desktop again.

        GNOME is definitely a very weird foundation for a popular DE, I agree, but it works for a lot of people. The extension library is very rich and easy to use, so I do not think it is fair to call it crippling, when it gives power users flexibility.
