It doesn’t do any crazy ricing, as I mostly focused on usability tweaks and automatic installation of my must-have extensions. (Tiling, clipboard manager, dash to dock, desktop icons)

Most notable tweaks include:

  • clicking on a running app minimizes it
  • clicking on a group of apps brings up their previews
  • adds minimize, maximize buttons to windows
  • installs flatpak, adds flathub
  • install flatpak and snap plugins into gnome-software (doesn’t work on Fedora)
  • installs snap
  • installs mtp-tools and gvfs-backends on Debian to be able to transfer files from a connected phone
  • adds right click > New File
  • Super + Shift + S brings up the area screenshot
  • Super + E opens the file manager
  • Ctrl + Alt + T opens the terminal

(Those already configured on Ubuntu don’t get configured again, obviously.)

I also recorded a short showcase to prove that it works without errors https://youtu.be/xf739ivb9hg

    Interesting, thanks for the research!

    Snaps are unsandboxed on Systems without AppArmor so they are not a useful cross platform technology anyways.

      Yeah, that sucks. I would still want it if I were to use Fedora, as an option.
