I don’t mean for this to become a KDE vs GNOME post. I’m looking at switching to Fedora (because Arch is a pain), and it seems that GNOME is more supported. I use KDE on Arch. What features would I be losing if I were to switch? (ex: toolbar management, KRunner, etc.)
I’ve got 20 extensions enabled. There’s no drawback so far. PaperWM is probably the most important one for me.
What I meant was that if he wants to try out Gnome, he should install only few extensions to have a vanilla experience. Then he can install the extensions he wants. I would have said the same thing for KDE or any DE.
“Try first without tweak and when it’s work and you like it, try modify” something like this.
I find that certain extensions (gsconnect, for instance) lag my Gnome shell. Extensions don’t often cause problems, but they certainly can.
That info is better than “install as few extensions as possible”.
