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

    I checked and Fedora dropped support for the snap plugin. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/enable-snap-in-gnome-software/76134

    These are also the only packages related to gnome-software:

    Related Packages

    gnome-software-devel
    gnome-software-fedora-langpacks
    gnome-software-rpm-ostree

    From what I remember, their gnome-software already has flatpak support. So all that will be missing is the GUI snap support. Could’ve been worse.

      Interesting, thanks for the research!

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