Tried it out and found the dock was only available from the activities screen... so I don’t see the point of it

IMHO using hamburger menus over a global menu bar is the single worst design choice in Gnome 3.
I'm not even a fan of the global menu, but the topbar is already there. It's just mostly empty all the time...

Of course the idea is ...what ever floats your boat.
If you like KDE go ahead.
Some of us are reacting this way because once gnome is mentioned in the headline KDE affines are coming over and deadlooping in essence " I hope they will not change too much...its already shitty"
..."KDE is like a microwaved Win95" is exactly the complementary counterargument and in my opinion a good funny way of answering the initial "toxic" argues.
It might just be unusable for some and to some extent because of how that progressive nature was implemented, not because of the progressive nature itself.

Everything is dependent on what works best for the individual. Like it or not, we are all different (and that is a very good thing) which means we all work differently. Could you imagine a world where all of us were a combination of Skeevy420, 144MHz, and me?!?!? Shit, it would be a terrible place - there would be no discourse. We would sit around, flail others, make bad jokes, talk about the past, and post memes from Google searches all while we think about how great and smart we are.
Even worse, there would be no Phoronix where we could post to flail each other, make bad jokes, talk about the past, and post memes from Google searches all while we post about how great and smart we are. Imagine a life with no discussion of compositors, QT versus GTK, KDE vs Gnome, Wayland vs Xorg, or Windows vs linux. What a boring world.

Plugins are able to remedy that, but most plugins aren't designed with how other plugins work so once enough are added little inconsistencies start popping up. The plugins included with Ubuntu 20.04 were enough to show the inconsistencies and was my last GNOME experience. IMHO, that's why the PopOS shell is better - it brings back some much needed utilitarian in a consistent manner.Last edited by skeevy420; 02 February 2021, 03:42 PM.

The only thing I wonder is if ArcMenu and Dash-to-panel is compatible yet?
If not yet, then when?
