Nice list.
Depending on your package manager, there are very handy snapper plugins that do automated pre/post snapshots for package installation/removal.
For Arch-based systems it’s snap-pac, and Fedora has one too (although I can’t remember the name).
Yeah, so Gnome has an extension called Night Theme Switcher which automatically changes your background, icons, theme, cursor etc. based on a user-defined day/night schedule. It works great.
Arc Menu is another extension which gives Gnome a standard start menu (since it doesn’t come with one by default) in the top lefthand corner. It also comes with a KRunner-like app launcher that pops up in the middle of the screen instead of using the default Gnome Overview UI.
Both these extensions make Gnome feel a little more natural for desktop use, IMO.
Gnome + Dash to Dock + Arc Menu. Nothing too crazy.
Apart from selecting the folder view and making it really small, I don’t think so. Maybe look into hacking it using gconfeditor, or something?
BTW - your image link is broken.
Interesting. Do you know if it works with an existing LUKS-encrypted installation?
