    Vanilla gnome isn’t for me so I used to install some extensions when I used it.

    After a few hopping, I stopped using Gnome, because I find that painful to :

    • install the extension app (the one that allow you to download and manage the extensions, and that is usually not the one installed, it might have changed, as I stopped using Gnome for a year or even more)
    • install the extensions I want
    • configure the extensions

    On KDE, I just have to set it as I need it.

    If you do not change distributions everyday, then it’s not a big issue I guess.

    But it might be troublesome for beginners trying distributions that have vanilla-close gnome to know that extensions exist. My needs are not complicated, so I only used extensions that allow me to have a dock on both of my screens, and to have the minimize button.

      Yeah agreed 1000%.

      I’ve installed Gnome for people in my fam. It’s kind of absurd when they want to change the text size and we have to get into installing Gnome Tweaks, installing browser extension, installing the Gnome extension, configuring the extension.

      I just use Plasma now.
