so in this video we're going to be so in this video we're going to be talking about my gnome desktop why I talking about my gnome desktop why I talking about my gnome desktop why I chose that desktop environment and then chose that desktop environment and then chose that desktop environment and then we're going to jump onto the computer we're going to jump onto the computer we're going to jump onto the computer and actually configure the thing to look and actually configure the thing to look and actually configure the thing to look exactly how I like it so first wagono or exactly how I like it so first wagono or exactly how I like it so first wagono or gnome there are two main reasons one is gnome there are two main reasons one is gnome there are two main reasons one is Simplicity and two is the actual Simplicity and two is the actual Simplicity and two is the actual Aesthetics of the thing it's not really Aesthetics of the thing it's not really Aesthetics of the thing it's not really overloaded with a ton of features and overloaded with a ton of features and overloaded with a ton of features and customizations out of the box but all customizations out of the box but all customizations out of the box but all the features that it does have works the features that it does have works the features that it does have works perfectly for me and works exactly how I perfectly for me and works exactly how I perfectly for me and works exactly how I like interacting with a computer now a like interacting with a computer now a like interacting with a computer now a lot of people who watch these videos lot of people who watch these videos lot of people who watch these videos love tiling window managers and I do too love tiling window managers and I do too love tiling window managers and I do too in some cases but for the most part my in some cases but for the most part my in some cases but for the most part my workflow tends to gear towards having workflow tends to gear towards having workflow tends to gear towards having two or three windows open in a workspace two or three windows open in a workspace two or three windows open in a workspace slightly overlap and I just kind of slightly overlap and I just kind of slightly overlap and I just kind of click in between them like so as I'm click in between them like so as I'm click in between them like so as I'm moving from application to application moving from application to application moving from application to application occasionally I'll snap them to the sides occasionally I'll snap them to the sides occasionally I'll snap them to the sides but this right here is just how I like but this right here is just how I like but this right here is just how I like to work and this does translate even to work and this does translate even to work and this does translate even when I use a tiling Window Manager for when I use a tiling Window Manager for when I use a tiling Window Manager for example I always have the big window on example I always have the big window on example I always have the big window on half the screen two quarter windows and half the screen two quarter windows and half the screen two quarter windows and some dramatic gaps and The Gnome shell some dramatic gaps and The Gnome shell some dramatic gaps and The Gnome shell itself is a huge part of my workflow as itself is a huge part of my workflow as itself is a huge part of my workflow as when my workspace gets a little too when my workspace gets a little too when my workspace gets a little too messy I can just go ahead and throw my messy I can just go ahead and throw my messy I can just go ahead and throw my mouse into the top corner see everything mouse into the top corner see everything mouse into the top corner see everything and then easily organize my windows into and then easily organize my windows into and then easily organize my windows into different workspaces depending on what different workspaces depending on what different workspaces depending on what I'm trying to get accomplished now yes I'm trying to get accomplished now yes I'm trying to get accomplished now yes when it comes to this workflow you can when it comes to this workflow you can when it comes to this workflow you can achieve it on basically all of the achieve it on basically all of the achieve it on basically all of the desktop environments or even window desktop environments or even window desktop environments or even window managers out there but all this managers out there but all this managers out there but all this functionality accompanied with the clean functionality accompanied with the clean functionality accompanied with the clean Aesthetics of the desktop is why I love Aesthetics of the desktop is why I love Aesthetics of the desktop is why I love it and so at this point that I'm going it and so at this point that I'm going it and so at this point that I'm going to get the absolute most subjective the

to get the absolute most subjective the to get the absolute most subjective the default look of gnome just looks way default look of gnome just looks way default look of gnome just looks way better than the default look of almost better than the default look of almost better than the default look of almost any other desktop environment out there any other desktop environment out there any other desktop environment out there in my opinion most of them look just in my opinion most of them look just in my opinion most of them look just outdated or look like a just apparent outdated or look like a just apparent outdated or look like a just apparent Windows knockoff granted gnome does kind Windows knockoff granted gnome does kind Windows knockoff granted gnome does kind of look like a Mac OS ripoff but I'm of look like a Mac OS ripoff but I'm of look like a Mac OS ripoff but I'm merely a apple Fanboy in Disguise not merely a apple Fanboy in Disguise not merely a apple Fanboy in Disguise not really just the laptops granted these really just the laptops granted these really just the laptops granted these are the defaults I'm talking about with are the defaults I'm talking about with are the defaults I'm talking about with some work and time you can make just some work and time you can make just some work and time you can make just about any of them look phenomenal and about any of them look phenomenal and about any of them look phenomenal and I've done it in the past I have a few I've done it in the past I have a few I've done it in the past I have a few other customization videos for other other customization videos for other other customization videos for other desktops in which I was able to make desktops in which I was able to make desktops in which I was able to make that look super good and they just that look super good and they just that look super good and they just recently fixed that little Shadow bug recently fixed that little Shadow bug recently fixed that little Shadow bug that was around the rounded window that was around the rounded window that was around the rounded window Corners which is very nice that was a Corners which is very nice that was a Corners which is very nice that was a gripe of mine so that's basically why I gripe of mine so that's basically why I gripe of mine so that's basically why I picked this desktop environment after picked this desktop environment after picked this desktop environment after using so many for so many years it's using so many for so many years it's using so many for so many years it's just what I settled on granted that just what I settled on granted that just what I settled on granted that doesn't mean I'm never gonna try any doesn't mean I'm never gonna try any doesn't mean I'm never gonna try any other ones Again part of what I do here other ones Again part of what I do here other ones Again part of what I do here is forcing myself to try just about is forcing myself to try just about is forcing myself to try just about everything I possibly can now with all everything I possibly can now with all everything I possibly can now with all that like I said I still do customize my that like I said I still do customize my that like I said I still do customize my gnome desktop environment as for me it's gnome desktop environment as for me it's gnome desktop environment as for me it's the definitely the closest one when it the definitely the closest one when it the definitely the closest one when it comes to just the default out of the box comes to just the default out of the box comes to just the default out of the box experience but it's still not quite experience but it's still not quite experience but it's still not quite there I don't really add themes or icons there I don't really add themes or icons there I don't really add themes or icons anymore but there are some really anymore but there are some really anymore but there are some really beautiful ones that I do recommend so beautiful ones that I do recommend so beautiful ones that I do recommend so check that link down below and there'll check that link down below and there'll check that link down below

is really the only thing I do and that is really the only thing I do and that is adding and customizing some very adding and customizing some very adding and customizing some very important extensions and we're going important extensions and we're going important extensions and we're going going to be able to highlight an going to be able to highlight an going to be able to highlight an application too in this video because

application too in this video because application too in this video because we're going to be doing this with gnome we're going to be doing this with gnome we're going to be doing this with gnome extensions which recently has had a extensions which recently has had a extensions which recently has had a rather impressive update so before we go rather impressive update so before we go rather impressive update so before we go ahead and jump onto the desktop and ahead and jump onto the desktop and ahead and jump onto the desktop and actually get this going we are going to actually get this going we are going to actually get this going we are going to need to thank the sponsor of today's need to thank the sponsor of today's need to thank the sponsor of today's video which happens to be lenode the video which happens to be lenode the video which happens to be lenode the node is a fantastic way to host various node is a fantastic way to host various node is a fantastic way to host various things whether it be your personal things whether it be your personal things whether it be your personal websites game servers various open websites game servers various open websites game servers various open source software packages that you can source software packages that you can source software packages that you can install using their incredibly easy install using their incredibly easy install using their incredibly easy one-click installer some of these may one-click installer some of these may one-click installer some of these may include matter most for project include matter most for project include matter most for project management next Cloud for some file management next Cloud for some file management next Cloud for some file sharing WordPress for your website and sharing WordPress for your website and sharing WordPress for your website and then end it all off by setting up one of then end it all off by setting up one of then end it all off by setting up one of many easily available game servers they many easily available game servers they many easily available game servers they have fantastic customer support plans have fantastic customer support plans have fantastic customer support plans start as low as five dollars a month for start as low as five dollars a month for start as low as five dollars a month for a shared CPU but better yet you can get a shared CPU but better yet you can get a shared CPU but better yet you can get yourself a hundred dollars sixty day yourself a hundred dollars sixty day yourself a hundred dollars sixty day credit by using the code techa or the credit by using the code techa or the credit by using the code techa or the link down below it's basically free link down below it's basically free link down below it's basically free money alright so here we are on my money alright so here we are on my money alright so here we are on my desktop and you can see see it is not desktop and you can see see it is not desktop and you can see see it is not customized that much but it's just customized that much but it's just customized that much but it's just enough where I think it is beautiful enough where I think it is beautiful enough where I think it is beautiful compared to stock at least we have some compared to stock at least we have some compared to stock at least we have some nice transparency you saw that within nice transparency you saw that within nice transparency you saw that within the gnome shell here this dock on the the gnome shell here this dock on the the gnome shell here this dock on the bottom looks absolutely awesome and we bottom looks absolutely awesome and we bottom looks absolutely awesome and we have some little additions that just have some little additions that just have some little additions that just give us more information about things give us more information about things give us more information about things that we care about and like I mentioned that we care about and like I mentioned that we care about and like I mentioned earlier I'm doing a lot of this with the earlier I'm doing a lot of this with the earlier I'm doing a lot of this with the extension Manager application right here extension Manager application right here extension Manager application right here let's go ahead and give that an open and let's go ahead and give that an open and let's go ahead and give that an open and before we actually dive into these before we actually dive into these before we actually dive into these extensions that I'm using I just want to extensions that I'm using I just want to extensions that I'm using I just want to kind of highlight this application it is kind of highlight this application it is kind of highlight this application it is remarkable you have browse here so you
-
remarkable you have browse here so you remarkable you have browse here so you can actually search and find your can actually search and find your can actually search and find your extensions directly through the extensions directly through the extensions directly through the application instead of having to go to application instead of having to go to application instead of having to go to the website with an extension enabled the website with an extension enabled the website with an extension enabled and all that this is just much better and all that this is just much better and all that this is just much better and one thing I really like about it is and one thing I really like about it is and one thing I really like about it is this new feature right here the Upgrade this new feature right here the Upgrade this new feature right here the Upgrade Assistant right now I'm running a gnome Assistant right now I'm running a gnome Assistant right now I'm running a gnome 42 which is a little bit behind what is 42 which is a little bit behind what is 42 which is a little bit behind what is currently out which is 43 and if I currently out which is 43 and if I currently out which is 43 and if I wanted to see if the extensions that I'm wanted to see if the extensions that I'm wanted to see if the extensions that I'm using are going to be working for this I using are going to be working for this I using are going to be working for this I would just click check and then it will would just click check and then it will would just click check and then it will go ahead and spit out a number I am 77 go ahead and spit out a number I am 77 go ahead and spit out a number I am 77 compatible the user installed all of compatible the user installed all of compatible the user installed all of them are good which is awesome including them are good which is awesome including them are good which is awesome including Dash to dock which historically has been Dash to dock which historically has been Dash to dock which historically has been kind of slower to getting updated and kind of slower to getting updated and kind of slower to getting updated and when it comes to everything else the when it comes to everything else the when it comes to everything else the application volume mixer is unsupported application volume mixer is unsupported application volume mixer is unsupported that's fine background logo I don't use that's fine background logo I don't use that's fine background logo I don't use anyway and down here the only other anyway and down here the only other anyway and down here the only other application that is not supported is the application that is not supported is the application that is not supported is the sound input and device Chooser which is sound input and device Chooser which is sound input and device Chooser which is completely fine because with gnome 43 completely fine because with gnome 43 completely fine because with gnome 43 they went ahead and added a beautiful they went ahead and added a beautiful they went ahead and added a beautiful kind of toggle button with a little drop kind of toggle button with a little drop kind of toggle button with a little drop down that you can actually do that down that you can actually do that down that you can actually do that directly through the base install which directly through the base install which directly through the base install which is wonderful when they add features that is wonderful when they add features that is wonderful when they add features that extensions forever needed to be the extensions forever needed to be the extensions forever needed to be the substitute for so if you're somebody substitute for so if you're somebody substitute for so if you're somebody who's running gnome this is definitely a who's running gnome this is definitely a who's running gnome this is definitely a must-have application now with that the must-have application now with that the must-have application now with that the actual extensions that I am using we're actual extensions that I am using we're actual extensions that I am using we're going to kind of go from top to bottom going to kind of go from top to bottom going to kind of go from top to bottom here you can see there's a lot of stuff here you can see there's a lot of stuff here you can see there's a lot of stuff that was pre-included with this nobara that was pre-included with this nobara that was pre-included with this nobara desktop but personally I'm not using desktop but personally I'm not using desktop but personally I'm not using much of them we have these sound input much of them we have these sound input much of them we have these sound input device Chooser which just like I said is device Chooser which just like I said is device Chooser which just like I said is not going to be needed because this is not going to be needed because this is not going to be needed because this is what gives me the availability to pick

what gives me the availability to pick what gives me the availability to pick my output and input devices that is my output and input devices that is my output and input devices that is going to be included so it doesn't going to be included so it doesn't going to be included so it doesn't matter that that's not getting updated matter that that's not getting updated matter that that's not getting updated because I will no longer need to use it because I will no longer need to use it because I will no longer need to use it pop shell is really cool if you like pop shell is really cool if you like pop shell is really cool if you like tiling Windows I'll link to a video tiling Windows I'll link to a video tiling Windows I'll link to a video below or actually on the eye just now if below or actually on the eye just now if below or actually on the eye just now if you want to check that out but up here you want to check that out but up here you want to check that out but up here we have a desktop icons this makes the we have a desktop icons this makes the we have a desktop icons this makes the whole desktop much more usable as a whole desktop much more usable as a whole desktop much more usable as a workspace you can see I have a little workspace you can see I have a little workspace you can see I have a little folder of my wallpapers here and if we folder of my wallpapers here and if we folder of my wallpapers here and if we go ahead and click the gear on any of go ahead and click the gear on any of go ahead and click the gear on any of these extensions you're going to get a these extensions you're going to get a these extensions you're going to get a good amount of customization options to good amount of customization options to good amount of customization options to just make it much better and frankly a just make it much better and frankly a just make it much better and frankly a lot of these extensions I'm for the most lot of these extensions I'm for the most lot of these extensions I'm for the most part using a lot of just the default part using a lot of just the default part using a lot of just the default settings so I'm gonna go ahead and close settings so I'm gonna go ahead and close settings so I'm gonna go ahead and close that out next up we have clipboard that out next up we have clipboard that out next up we have clipboard history a phenomenal application I went history a phenomenal application I went history a phenomenal application I went ahead and cleared it so you can't see ahead and cleared it so you can't see ahead and cleared it so you can't see what I've been copying and pasting what I've been copying and pasting what I've been copying and pasting there's a few passwords in there but you there's a few passwords in there but you there's a few passwords in there but you can search your history go back and can search your history go back and can search your history go back and forth between pages to see everything forth between pages to see everything forth between pages to see everything you've been copying and pasting there's you've been copying and pasting there's you've been copying and pasting there's a private mode and then of course we a private mode and then of course we a private mode and then of course we could go into our clipboard history could go into our clipboard history could go into our clipboard history settings watch again for me I base settings watch again for me I base settings watch again for me I base basically have everything on the default basically have everything on the default basically have everything on the default and there are some awesome little and there are some awesome little and there are some awesome little keyboard shortcuts now moving on from keyboard shortcuts now moving on from keyboard shortcuts now moving on from there we have probably the second most there we have probably the second most there we have probably the second most important thing to me and that is blur important thing to me and that is blur important thing to me and that is blur my shell that's what gives it this my shell that's what gives it this my shell that's what gives it this really nice aesthetic here and you can really nice aesthetic here and you can really nice aesthetic here and you can kind of get a better idea of everything kind of get a better idea of everything kind of get a better idea of everything you could actually do with this by going you could actually do with this by going you could actually do with this by going of course to the configuration here of course to the configuration here of course to the configuration here there's a lot of stuff going on we have there's a lot of stuff going on we have there's a lot of stuff going on we have the intensity of the blur the brightness the intensity of the blur the brightness the intensity of the blur the brightness the color the noise amount which you can the color the noise amount which you can the color the noise amount which you can see I just have a little touch of noise see I just have a little touch of noise see I just have a little touch of noise and a lot of this stuff updates right and a lot of this stuff updates right and a lot of this stuff updates right away so you can actually play around away so you can actually play around away so you can actually play around with this number by number really figure with this number by number really figure with this number by number really figure out what you like for example if I go out what you like for example if I go out what you like for example if I go dramatic with the noise here you can see
-
dramatic with the noise here you can see dramatic with the noise here you can see this top bar kind of looks like crap now this top bar kind of looks like crap now this top bar kind of looks like crap now if I go over here you can see what that if I go over here you can see what that if I go over here you can see what that looks like maybe that's for you but uh I looks like maybe that's for you but uh I looks like maybe that's for you but uh I just like just a little dash of that and just like just a little dash of that and just like just a little dash of that and actually we could play around with this actually we could play around with this actually we could play around with this so if I did bump this up just a little so if I did bump this up just a little so if I did bump this up just a little more I can increase the lightness too so more I can increase the lightness too so more I can increase the lightness too so you can see what that does to it and you you can see what that does to it and you you can see what that does to it and you can just really fine tune these things can just really fine tune these things can just really fine tune these things to make it perfect for you and then of to make it perfect for you and then of to make it perfect for you and then of course we have more settings particular course we have more settings particular course we have more settings particular to the panel here on the top we have to the panel here on the top we have to the panel here on the top we have overview settings so if you didn't want overview settings so if you didn't want overview settings so if you didn't want the blare but you wanted all the other the blare but you wanted all the other the blare but you wanted all the other options you could go ahead and enable options you could go ahead and enable options you could go ahead and enable that and then application blur as well that and then application blur as well that and then application blur as well as an option the dash right here this is as an option the dash right here this is as an option the dash right here this is important I have this disabled because important I have this disabled because important I have this disabled because it kind of interferes with the dash to it kind of interferes with the dash to it kind of interferes with the dash to dock application you can see if I go dock application you can see if I go dock application you can see if I go ahead and enable this it gives me these ahead and enable this it gives me these ahead and enable this it gives me these ugly Corners kind of similar to the old ugly Corners kind of similar to the old ugly Corners kind of similar to the old KDE bug that I mentioned earlier but KDE bug that I mentioned earlier but KDE bug that I mentioned earlier but that's really the only interference that that's really the only interference that that's really the only interference that I've noticed just as enable that and you I've noticed just as enable that and you I've noticed just as enable that and you are good to go and obviously if you are good to go and obviously if you are good to go and obviously if you weren't using this you'd probably want weren't using this you'd probably want weren't using this you'd probably want to actually keep this enabled because in to actually keep this enabled because in to actually keep this enabled because in the activities menu this is where you the activities menu this is where you the activities menu this is where you would actually be able to customize it would actually be able to customize it would actually be able to customize it because it's going to show up in here no because it's going to show up in here no because it's going to show up in here no matter what but again I'm going to matter what but again I'm going to matter what but again I'm going to disable that we have some application disable that we have some application disable that we have some application settings and of course other which goes settings and of course other which goes settings and of course other which goes into lock screen screenshot and window into lock screen screenshot and window into lock screen screenshot and window list extension blurring which again for list extension blurring which again for list extension blurring which again for the most part I have set to all the the most part I have set to all the the most part I have set to all the default application of volume mixer is default application of volume mixer is default application of volume mixer is kind of cool just gives you the kind of cool just gives you the kind of cool just gives you the availability to change volume levels on availability to change volume levels on availability to change volume levels on an application by application basis and an application by application basis and an application by application basis and I don't really have audio streaming so I don't really have audio streaming so I don't really have audio streaming so I'm not really able to show that off we I'm not really able to show that off we I'm not really able to show that off we have app indicator and case status have app indicator and case status have app indicator and case status notification support just gives us the notification support just gives us the notification support just gives us the availability and ability to go ahead and

availability and ability to go ahead and availability and ability to go ahead and customize this if we would like to and customize this if we would like to and customize this if we would like to and then it gets on or moves us on to the then it gets on or moves us on to the then it gets on or moves us on to the user installed extensions here user user installed extensions here user user installed extensions here user themes again I'm not really using this themes again I'm not really using this themes again I'm not really using this but I do have this installed because but I do have this installed because but I do have this installed because occasionally I'll get a wild hair and occasionally I'll get a wild hair and occasionally I'll get a wild hair and want to install like the bimics theme or want to install like the bimics theme or want to install like the bimics theme or something like that and just having this something like that and just having this something like that and just having this available and ready is awesome and you available and ready is awesome and you available and ready is awesome and you could actually change the themes through could actually change the themes through could actually change the themes through here if you'd like to instead of using here if you'd like to instead of using here if you'd like to instead of using the gnome tweak tool now open weather is the gnome tweak tool now open weather is the gnome tweak tool now open weather is an absolute must there actually is if I an absolute must there actually is if I an absolute must there actually is if I do recall within the standard thing here do recall within the standard thing here do recall within the standard thing here if I go ahead and select weather if I go ahead and select weather if I go ahead and select weather location go ahead and do this real quick location go ahead and do this real quick location go ahead and do this real quick and see what it looks like this is just and see what it looks like this is just and see what it looks like this is just something I haven't done yet so Spokane something I haven't done yet so Spokane something I haven't done yet so Spokane International Airport's fairly close to International Airport's fairly close to International Airport's fairly close to me so if I added that there we go and me so if I added that there we go and me so if I added that there we go and this too is actually a really pretty this too is actually a really pretty this too is actually a really pretty application and then I click on this so application and then I click on this so application and then I click on this so there we go we do have some weather here there we go we do have some weather here there we go we do have some weather here so if this is good enough for you you so if this is good enough for you you so if this is good enough for you you can keep that but personally I prefer can keep that but personally I prefer can keep that but personally I prefer something a little more like this where something a little more like this where something a little more like this where it's going to give me very sense of it's going to give me very sense of it's going to give me very sense of detail with a something as simple as a detail with a something as simple as a detail with a something as simple as a little mouse hover all the way down to little mouse hover all the way down to little mouse hover all the way down to the humidity air pressure and things the humidity air pressure and things the humidity air pressure and things like that and of course I don't even like that and of course I don't even like that and of course I don't even have to do anything to see the weather have to do anything to see the weather have to do anything to see the weather as it's just going to display right up as it's just going to display right up as it's just going to display right up here in the top bar and with that it here in the top bar and with that it here in the top bar and with that it takes us to the very last application takes us to the very last application takes us to the very last application which I've touched on a little bit and which I've touched on a little bit and which I've touched on a little bit and that is the dash to dock I spend about that is the dash to dock I spend about that is the dash to dock I spend about half of my time in Mac OS and just half of my time in Mac OS and just half of my time in Mac OS and just having something like this is just what having something like this is just what having something like this is just what I'm used to using and of course if we go I'm used to using and of course if we go I'm used to using and of course if we go to settings we have various things to go to settings we have various things to go to settings we have various things to go ahead and customize and change this ahead and customize and change this ahead and customize and change this exactly as we'd like intelligent exactly as we'd like intelligent exactly as we'd like intelligent autohide is one of my favorite things autohide is one of my favorite things autohide is one of my favorite things just move a window close to it and it'll just move a window close to it and it'll just move a window close to it and it'll automatically go away pull it away and automatically go away pull it away and automatically go away pull it away and it comes back up very nice in addition
-
it comes back up very nice in addition it comes back up very nice in addition we have the positioning icon sizes and a we have the positioning icon sizes and a we have the positioning icon sizes and a lot more launchers here is nice so we'll lot more launchers here is nice so we'll lot more launchers here is nice so we'll throw the windows you have open here on throw the windows you have open here on throw the windows you have open here on the bottom and we can go and change some the bottom and we can go and change some the bottom and we can go and change some more things so if I want to show the more things so if I want to show the more things so if I want to show the trash can I could go ahead and do that trash can I could go ahead and do that trash can I could go ahead and do that for me the icons kind of screwed up for me the icons kind of screwed up for me the icons kind of screwed up don't know what's going on there so I don't know what's going on there so I don't know what's going on there so I just keep that one disabled and of just keep that one disabled and of just keep that one disabled and of course if we go ahead and mount a volume course if we go ahead and mount a volume course if we go ahead and mount a volume or device it'll also pop up down there or device it'll also pop up down there or device it'll also pop up down there which is very handy we have some which is very handy we have some which is very handy we have some Behavior settings so for example if I Behavior settings so for example if I Behavior settings so for example if I open up a couple web
