Took a little time, but I absolutely love the Gnome workflow. I too mostly work with slightly overlapping windows with occasional snapping. With some great default keyboard shortcuts gnome makes this workflow sing. I have a few extensions too but they are getting fewer over time. Caffeine, AppIndicator, and sound chooser is all I really need. ddterm is a nice to have. On 42 now (garuda) and looking forward to eliminating the sound chooser going to 43. Also looking forward to trying Blur my Shell and OpenWeather. Thanks for the tips.
I am KDE man myself and I like using one desktop environment for all my systems. I also have a steamdeck (obviously with plasma installed) but the new Nobara official update is really swaying me. Lots of nice quality of life improvements
I'm like you, I love me some KDE. It's not as great as it was back in the early 2000's, but it's light years ahead of Gnome in freedom to make it look and act the way I want it to. I switched to KDE after XFCE started feeling like it was dead in the water and getting way over simplified. An interface being way over simplified is also my problem with Gnome. It seems like they have removed everything that OSX doesn't have then half implemented everything OSX has.
Love how you cover great stuff like this. I'm new to Linux, so I watch every single video you do on stuff like this. It helps me see what is possible with my new setup.
Of all the distro hopping I've done, my preferred DE looks just about exactly like this one. I've tended to like the Mac like arrangement with dock and top panel (and I'm previously a lifelong windows user that has virtually never used mac OS) and of all the environments in linux gnome does this arrangement best, IMO.
I discovered nobara a year and a half ago and since then it has been the best thing that has happened to me. it's very easy to customize anything you need plus it comes with a lot of useful features such as wine.
Linux excels at providing options and customization, so everyone can do what they need to get the system set up how they like. I never really got the "outdated" tag. If I go back and look at Windows 98, yeah, that looks visually old, but not so much in concept. Looking at the various Windows-like desktops for Linux, they don't look old or bad to me. So I just don't get that. But I've never been a fan of too much window dressing, effects, or various bells and whistles. I like my OS to just exist and not get in my way, and the Windows-style taskbar is my favorite way of doing things. I do some minor customization, of course, but it doesn't take much to get XFCE set up the way I like it. Add a fun desktop background, and I think it looks quite nice. I just don't get on well with different interfaces. I hate the Apple-style dock. I don't like variations on the taskbar or grouping window managers. I guess I'm a creature of habit, but I guess that really resonated with me in that I don't need to change like others. When I moved to Linux, I started with Opensuse KDE and Mint Cinnamon, both of which I liked very much, but came to prefer Cinnamon. I've since moved to XFCE, and have played around with MATE(I might dive deeper with it) and KDE(it's good, but a bit too different in a number of ways). I can easily jump between Cinnamon, XFCE, and MATE, but everything else feels too different. Again, while those are old fashioned or classic, I just don't get the "outdated" thing, either in function or aesthetics. I find so-called modernization usually ends up being annoying at best and frustrating at worst. But that's just how my mind works, and I want to emphasize that options and customization are a huge reason why Linux is so great, so no hate from me for doing things in a totally different way. If my desktop is outdated, I just can't see it, and I'm happy living in the past.
I use a convertible for university and recently switched from i3 to GNOME. It is amazing how well their UI is thought out and how I dont't need the keyboard at all when using the device in tablet mode.
I do some similar, but I really hate a dock showing all the time, so I don't do that. I have been trying it out since I went to Fedora 36, but I am still heavily thinking of going back to KDE.
@@AyaWetts You could try Material shell, to me it ended up being the best workflow I ever tried. I am a QT man, love me some KDE, but went ahead and set up plasma as close to material shell as possible, using bismuth et al. - it is delightful.
When I went from Pop!_OS to Fedora I really missed pop shell, specifically toggling tiling mode, I found it didn't quite work as well as on pop and I was worried about it breaking with newer gnome versions. I found an extension called Forge, which basically does the same thing. The Devs are very active too.
@@asdfghjkl-jk6mu I really like Fedora, I doubt I'd go back to an Ubuntu based distro any time soon. Forge is great, but it's missing a little of the polish that the pop tiling has. It has an annoying bug (which I'm looking at fixing myself if it doesn't get fixed soon) that occasionally messes up tiling if you close a window on a workspace when there are windows open on workspaces to the right of it. Other than that it's really quite good. I really disliked the initial "cosmic launcher" mostly because when I go to my activities view, I like to visually choose my window with thumbnails, rather than cosmic's list of the window titles and the app icons. I tried to get used to it, but switched back to the gnome activities view. I only left pop because they were stuck on an ancient gnome version and didn't have Wayland support. I'm really looking forward to the full cosmic de, it looks great, it will get some amazing community extensions I'm sure and even if I don't end up liking it, it's going to be great to have more variety and the whole community will benefit.
@@w3w3w3 I'll definitely give pop a try again when the new de ships. The version of gnome in the current version is missing so many new QoL features and while the cosmic launcher is powerful, I don't like it visually and really dislike the split activities view. I also hate how it shows small icons for each window rather than a large thumbnail of each window. I didn't realise how many really great features vanilla gnome (especially on Wayland) has added until I installed pop on a PC recently and realised how much the old gnome variant they're using is missing. Really looking forward to trying the new cosmic de though.
I recently started using linux, I tried kde, but after trying gnome, I was left in awe of the quality of ui and easy setup with plugins, with them without problems made rounded edges on the windows, in kde I got tired of trying to make them qualitatively
GNOME is also my favorite desktop environment. My current distro is using version 43, and it looks very modern. I also like that it resembles MacOS a lot. Whenever I boot up a distro that is using KDE or another DWM I feel lost for a few minutes lol.
@ 1:50 'just the laptops' The one thing I know is that my next laptop is going to have an arm cpu inside. If by then pc hardware gets comparable to apple's and linux can deal with it, great, but if my thinkpad were to break tomorrow I'd buy a macbook, no question about it. On DE's, I started using Gnome on my laptop because of the material shell, works great, fits my workflow perfectly (after changing the keybinds) - my desktop is still KDE, it is just so much leaner and quicker... I try to get whatever software I can made with QT instead of GTK, it is just better IMO. But I did configure it with bismuth and a side bar and top bar etc etc to work like on material shell - I honestly can't recommend their workflow enough. My next step is going to be to see if I can use KDE activities instead of virtual desktops for the side-bar, but we'll see, I never got the rhyme nor the reason for KDE activities
I love Gnome so much that I use it vanilla. No extensions, no funny themes...nothing. The only things that I enable are the minimize/maximize buttons and I reduce a bit the fonts. Anyway, I have to admit that the latest KDE versions are much better for all those people that can get over the Windows paradigma.
I use Gnome too but without any extensions (except sometimes appindicator). I just change some of the keybindings and settings and install adw-gtk3 to have legacy applications look like GTK4 applications and then I am good to go. Having a dock there is just a huge waste of space IMHO, especially on a laptop. When I was still using Macbooks I also had the dock hidden most of the time.
I like the looks of GNOME Shell but I must be one of the only people whom prefers the looks & UX of GNOME 3.38 over the GNOME 40x series when it comes to the base system UI but GTK4 is by far better than GTK3+ if using the Adwaita theme but imo the Elementary OS theming of GTK3 is better in light mode than GTK4 in light mode (not dark mode though)...
Yea, right now I'm running pop OS, and it's been working great on my laptop. And I do like the Gnome 3.38 workspace style on there, it does feel like it's more tailored towards the mouse more than the horizontal workspaces.
I love Gnome but have issues with not being able to save a txt file or image from any web browser to a samba share. Had this issue with Pop, Fedora, Ubuntu but KDE works fine. Not a distro issue more of a desktop problem. Fedora KDE works great and so does Kubuntu.
Do you think this could be because of whatever file browser come pre-packaged? I didn't understand the issue 100% so just ignore if irrelevant, I mean no harm.
@@prgnify I'm using the default "Files" I think with Gnome. I setup the mount and then bookmark it but even selecting it in FireFox to save a file or image it doesn't save. No error or anything. KDE using Dolphin for setting up the mounts works fine. I just don't get it. I've search Google and Bing but can't seem to find an answer. I've used VAX, Unix and Linux for 30+ years. I'm not an Admin but still KDE doesn't seem to have the issue.
Please do make a BATTERY CONSUMPTION COMPARISON TEST in between windows 11, fedora, manjaro & mint. . As all the power consumption test videos on RUclips out there are pretty old and doesn't include windows 11
I've switched to the Pano Clipboard extension, its a newer one, very nice and the newer 'dock from dash' (more stable than dash to dock) other than that I pretty much use the same extensions - running risiOS. Great video, thanks!
You are based. I chose Gnome over the other outdated looking Desktop environments for all the reasons you also stated. It's nearly 2023 don't want to deal with ugly outdated looking designs. Current Gnome does not look out of place next to my Windows 11 PC
KDE can look at least better than Windows 11. But I will say GNOME is nice because it takes a lot of design cues from Mac OS and as a years-long Mac user I appreciate that.
Funny, I bet most install "Dash to Dock" or something similar so Gnome looks more like a traditional desktop. What's new is old again with just a little more lipstick.
When I started using linux I was avoiding gnome on purpose. I hsed kde, i3, deepin, xfce but when I decided to try Gnome I though thats exacly what I was looking for. How ironic xD
Is nobara good for low end devices? Not very low end. Im using Manjaro KDE right now, but Im planning to switch to a more stable distro. Pop!_Os and Fedora are on my list right now.
PopOS is outstanding. If you've never tried it before, give it a go. It has the best implementation of GNOME imho. And the system76 team are working on their own Rust DE, called Cosmic, which should be ready sometime in late 2023 or early 2024.
I really like Gnome, I wanted to use with Ubuntu 22.10 or Fedora 37, but yesterday I tested in both and sadly I couldn't use plex-desktop or plex-htpc, I can install from snap, but crashes on run. I finally installed Kubuntu and all worked OK
@@4tado I installed Fedora 37 and I used flatpak and both Plex applications worked OK. I also tested in Ubuntu 22.10 using flag Wayland to false and also both applications worked. But I preferred Fedora, because when I disabled Wayland in Ubuntu I have cursor issues due I have a touch screen and when the monitor goes to sleep and resumes I get a ghost cursor, only appears when I move to upper bar. This doesn't happens with Wayland enabled.
I like GNOME but Budgie takes the good things about it, eliminates the pseudo touch nonsense and brings back the sane desktop default people are used to and the flow is what I like on a desktop. I do have to install Desktop View and DesktopFolder to do away with the locked down desktop that is GNOME and then I can work on the desktop instead of being forced to work in a folder. GNOME can work as well as KDE with a few changes.
What's your gpu. Nvidia? If so did the nobara nvidia script work out of the box installing Nvidia? Any distro other then ubuntu/mint always failed to install Nvidia properly. I'm using f36 and installing Nvidia via its software centre boots into a blank screen or blinking console.... please advice. Oh by the way I use "if not true then false" YT channel to install nvidia drivers... the hard way
Can you do a video in how to use Linode to host something, nexcloud or diferent cloud things. No idea of how to start, even if you promoted. The idea of having it seems like very server/company related. It would be nice to know how to use it in a personal level
Oh I got a bunch of stuff. Nextcloud: www.techhut.tv/nextcloud-all-in-one-server-setup-guide/ www.linode.com/featuring/techhut/ www.linode.com/featuring/brandon-hopkins/
you fooled me with that wallpaper. I actually thought your dock was blurred. It is a little inconsistent with the top panel. Once you change wallpaper it will be pretty obvious. neeeaaahh aaaalmooost!...gnome does some things really well, touch support is great, the upgrade assistant is a good move forward, but you can't put a saddle on a donkey and rob a train with it.
even stock gnome is awesome. If you kinda open about the gnome idea you dont even much of the stuff most people add via tweakz. I am mostly interested in some aesthetic changes. Fedora OS is really awesome.
Linux is perfect, but there are some modifications of Windows 10 (eg. Atlas OS) which provide Windows Apps support and .exe installation without any other third party installation of Wine in it. I am also a Linux die-hard fan but since I tried 'Atlas', I forgot that Windows ever lagged. I didn't regret using it yet. It works as fast as Gnome though 100%, whoever is reading this, try it once you'll know....
Hola! Please forgive my quick self-insert; I cannot get a straight answer on the Motherweb. What is a good distro for a really old Mecer Classmate (sort of a kiddies starter laptop from years ago), with an Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz processor, 30Gb disk? It's a really shitty thing in Windows format, but I like the midsize keyboard for writing purposes, so I wanna pop in a workable 32 bit distro. Thanking you all for the loving prayers and thoughts.
Gnome is the way for me as well. Being able to invoke Activities Overview by using a three finger swipe up (with Wayland / libinput) and snap windows to the sides / make them full screen with Super (Win key) + the arrows is super great. It's muscle memory from daily driving Windows 11 and it makes Gnome feel like home. Plus it kinda looks like Android with the latest releases and I really like the fact that it kind of bridges the gap between my mobile devices and my desktop in terms of visual cohesion while still respecting my pre-existing Windows muscle memory and habits. And thanks to it, even Ubuntu (which I used to loathe visually because of its garish orange highlights that weren't straightforward to get rid of) looks GREAT with just a couple mouse clicks to adjust the highlight color straight from the Settings menu.
System76 is ditching GNOME because the interface is all wrong for traditional PCs and laptops. They want to go back to the desktop metaphor but do it more efficiently than KDE.
I understand the charm of Gnome, but it was the DE that kicked me out of Linux twice until I found Endeavour with KDE. But after having tried a couple of DEs I still could not match the boot speed of one of the Gnome installs I had some time ago. It was so quick I couldn't tell if it was actually booting or if the screen was just locked.
Is Nobara Linux safe? i'm new to Linux and I'm trying some distros to choose the one as daily driver. Nobara fits perfectly with my hardware [for example, is the only distro with no audio problems in live testing (i tested Fedora, Kde Neon, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Manjaro etc..)] but is the only with I've to disable Secure Boot in BIOS. Anyone can explain me why? Can this affect the security of my data? is one of the main reasons why I would like to switch to Linux.
From my experience nobara is completly safe. It's developed by very active and respected linux community member, so I think it can be trusted. Regarding secureboot, here's one of the entry from their FAQ: 6. Is Nobara compatible with SecureBoot? - No. Nobara ships with a kernel that has been custom patched and is built and hosted on COPR. Packages hosted on COPR repositories have no simple way of signing the kernel after it’s been built.
I use KDE because their developers recognized the pain of fractional scaling for HiDPI modern laptop screens and makes sure users don't get to hurt their eyes with worst 100% scaling which Gnomie Desktop didn't pay heed for years. Gnome developers you really suck at this
Man, I freaking miss Linux. I left Linux and stayed using Windows 11 for the past 4 months. The only reason I am not using Linux for a while is because my laptop's soundcard doesn't support Linux (I need to build a custom kernel but kinda tiresome for me, I'm just a Linux beginner) and my studies mainly rely on Office 365, Microsoft teams freaking suck on Linux but I heard there will be changes to Teams on Linux, might as well switch when my laptop's soundcard finally work.
The white theme kills my eyes. But other than that it looks beautiful. The default GNOME is really great these days. But personally I love the Pop_os! version. Can't wait for thei COSMIC desktop enviroment!
Took a little time, but I absolutely love the Gnome workflow. I too mostly work with slightly overlapping windows with occasional snapping. With some great default keyboard shortcuts gnome makes this workflow sing. I have a few extensions too but they are getting fewer over time.

3:37 can we laugh about the stock footage of a mechanical keyboard on top of their laptop keyboard :D
Add pop shell for tiling
Gnome all the way!
Funny, I bet most install "Dash to Dock" or something similar so Gnome looks more like a traditional desktop. What's new is old again with just a little more lipstick.
When I started using linux I was avoiding gnome on purpose. I hsed kde, i3, deepin, xfce but when I decided to try Gnome I though thats exacly what I was looking for. How ironic xD
Is nobara good for low end devices? Not very low end. Im using Manjaro KDE right now, but Im planning to switch to a more stable distro. Pop!_Os and Fedora are on my list right now.
PopOS is outstanding. If you've never tried it before, give it a go. It has the best implementation of GNOME imho. And the system76 team are working on their own Rust DE, called Cosmic, which should be ready sometime in late 2023 or early 2024.
Hello! How you made blur dash?
what device is the one in the video cover?
Nobara Project
nice, valid point!
gnome it's nice but the switch to gtk 4 makes theming and ricing very inconsistent
Is it possible to have a blured dock with rounded corner also on Ubuntu 22.04? :O
I really like Gnome, I wanted to use with Ubuntu 22.10 or Fedora 37, but yesterday I tested in both and sadly I couldn't use plex-desktop or plex-htpc, I can install from snap, but crashes on run. I finally installed Kubuntu and all worked OK
Have you tried the flatpak plex-desktop. That is what I use on Fedora 36 and should work on 37.
@@dayne6260 I will try. Was my first time testing Fedora and really worked very smoothly in my computer.
@@4tadoI was investigating about this issue and it's correct your comment, it's Wayland.
@@4tado I installed Fedora 37 and I used flatpak and both Plex applications worked OK. I also tested in Ubuntu 22.10 using flag Wayland to false and also both applications worked. But I preferred Fedora, because when I disabled Wayland in Ubuntu I have cursor issues due I have a touch screen and when the monitor goes to sleep and resumes I get a ghost cursor, only appears when I move to upper bar. This doesn't happens with Wayland enabled.
What are your thoughts on kinetic kudu
Try system-monitor-next. I love to see my system load in the top bar. Both XFCE and LXQT have that in the stock settings.
Blurring the dush to dock is the only thing that's annoying me in gnome, except that everything is wonderful
How did you get the focused window indicator working? The extension I found is not compatible with gnome 42...
I like GNOME but Budgie takes the good things about it, eliminates the pseudo touch nonsense and brings back the sane desktop default people are used to and the flow is what I like on a desktop. I do have to install Desktop View and DesktopFolder to do away with the locked down desktop that is GNOME and then I can work on the desktop instead of being forced to work in a folder. GNOME can work as well as KDE with a few changes.
What's your gpu. Nvidia? If so did the nobara nvidia script work out of the box installing Nvidia? Any distro other then ubuntu/mint always failed to install Nvidia properly. I'm using f36 and installing Nvidia via its software centre boots into a blank screen or blinking console.... please advice. Oh by the way I use "if not true then false" YT channel to install nvidia drivers... the hard way
What is the name of your portable monitor?
What are some good distros for tablets? I run fedora 34 on a Microsoft surface go but it could be better
Gnome is great but I did not like the inability of changing themes.
Can you do a video in how to use Linode to host something, nexcloud or diferent cloud things. No idea of how to start, even if you promoted. The idea of having it seems like very server/company related. It would be nice to know how to use it in a personal level
Oh I got a bunch of stuff.

@@TechHut noice. Thanks for revisiting your posts to let my questions answered
you fooled me with that wallpaper. I actually thought your dock was blurred. It is a little inconsistent with the top panel. Once you change wallpaper it will be pretty obvious. neeeaaahh aaaalmooost!...gnome does some things really well, touch support is great, the upgrade assistant is a good move forward, but you can't put a saddle on a donkey and rob a train with it.
Me, a stock KDE user: interesting
even stock gnome is awesome. If you kinda open about the gnome idea you dont even much of the stuff most people add via tweakz. I am mostly interested in some aesthetic changes. Fedora OS is really awesome.
i think dock should move slightly upwards.
It's been 2 days that I got a new Pc and moved to gnome. This video is perfectly timed
Question. What monitor is that in the thumbnail
It's a espresso display. I'm going to be doing a review on it very soon.
I missed ... what Destro is this?
are u still using nobara?
Linux is perfect, but there are some modifications of Windows 10 (eg. Atlas OS) which provide Windows Apps support and .exe installation without any other third party installation of Wine in it. I am also a Linux die-hard fan but since I tried 'Atlas', I forgot that Windows ever lagged. I didn't regret using it yet. It works as fast as Gnome though 100%, whoever is reading this, try it once you'll know....
Interesting. Since Windows is not open source, how do they keep from getting a copyright strike?
@@stephenwilson0386 Because it has some limitations that only original Windows has eg. No Windows Update, No Windows Defender, etc
@TechHut Would love to see a video showing the comparision between Nobara OS and Regata OS ❤️
Gnome is the best!
I must have missed it. What distro do you have installed here?
Judging from the logo, it's Nobara.

There was some tweet by them saying 'guh-nome" was original, but neither is right or wrong, and say it the way you want to.
you should give pano a try as a clipboard manager, is way more complete compared to that extension
Hola! Please forgive my quick self-insert; I cannot get a straight answer on the Motherweb. What is a good distro for a really old Mecer Classmate (sort of a kiddies starter laptop from years ago), with an Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz processor, 30Gb disk? It's a really shitty thing in Windows format, but I like the midsize keyboard for writing purposes, so I wanna pop in a workable 32 bit distro. Thanking you all for the loving prayers and thoughts.
linux mint cinnamon 20.3
thank you
Gnome is the way for me as well. Being able to invoke Activities Overview by using a three finger swipe up (with Wayland / libinput) and snap windows to the sides / make them full screen with Super (Win key) + the arrows is super great. It's muscle memory from daily driving Windows 11 and it makes Gnome feel like home.
Plus it kinda looks like Android with the latest releases and I really like the fact that it kind of bridges the gap between my mobile devices and my desktop in terms of visual cohesion while still respecting my pre-existing Windows muscle memory and habits.
And thanks to it, even Ubuntu (which I used to loathe visually because of its garish orange highlights that weren't straightforward to get rid of) looks GREAT with just a couple mouse clicks to adjust the highlight color straight from the Settings menu.
the pure RUST based system76's COSMIC will be awesome. It uses RUST iced framework to build apps instead of gtk/qt. Rust is "fast".😋
Yes indeed! I'm really curious to see what the System76 team will accomplish. PopOS already has the best implementation of GNOME imo.
System76 is ditching GNOME because the interface is all wrong for traditional PCs and laptops. They want to go back to the desktop metaphor but do it more efficiently than KDE.
This is funny, my ide looks almost exactly like this besides using arcmenu and dash to panel instead
Are you an EWU alumni? Noticing a very specific eagle in the background...
Idk gnome has always been a glitchy and resource intensive mess, even 43 which i just tested out
have you tried PaperWM extension?
What's this?
I love Vanilla Gnome and everything else (except Ubuntu) looks either old or cluttered.
There is a new DE though that looks interesting.
PaperDE
I understand the charm of Gnome, but it was the DE that kicked me out of Linux twice until I found Endeavour with KDE.
But after having tried a couple of DEs I still could not match the boot speed of one of the Gnome installs I had some time ago. It was so quick I couldn't tell if it was actually booting or if the screen was just locked.
Is Nobara Linux safe? i'm new to Linux and I'm trying some distros to choose the one as daily driver. Nobara fits perfectly with my hardware [for example, is the only distro with no audio problems in live testing (i tested Fedora, Kde Neon, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Manjaro etc..)] but is the only with I've to disable Secure Boot in BIOS. Anyone can explain me why? Can this affect the security of my data? is one of the main reasons why I would like to switch to Linux.
From my experience nobara is completly safe. It's developed by very active and respected linux community member, so I think it can be trusted. Regarding secureboot, here's one of the entry from their FAQ:
6. Is Nobara compatible with SecureBoot?
- No. Nobara ships with a kernel that has been custom patched and is built and hosted on COPR. Packages hosted on COPR repositories have no simple way of signing the kernel after it’s been built.
vanila gnome is look ugly for me,im using ubuntu gnome in vanila style.and alonside with kubuntu.i use both de for work
Will it work on a 2015 Macbook Pro?
If it's an Intel machine you shouldn't have issues
I use KDE because their developers recognized the pain of fractional scaling for HiDPI modern laptop screens and makes sure users don't get to hurt their eyes with worst 100% scaling which Gnomie Desktop didn't pay heed for years. Gnome developers you really suck at this
Man, I freaking miss Linux. I left Linux and stayed using Windows 11 for the past 4 months. The only reason I am not using Linux for a while is because my laptop's soundcard doesn't support Linux (I need to build a custom kernel but kinda tiresome for me, I'm just a Linux beginner) and my studies mainly rely on Office 365, Microsoft teams freaking suck on Linux but I heard there will be changes to Teams on Linux, might as well switch when my laptop's soundcard finally work.
i would just focus on school / making money
The white theme kills my eyes. But other than that it looks beautiful. The default GNOME is really great these days. But personally I love the Pop_os! version. Can't wait for thei COSMIC desktop enviroment!
