How the fuck do I use this?
Where's the taskbar?
Why is that top bar so empty and useless?
Why can't I customize shit?
Where's the minimize button?
Where's the maximize button?
Why does it have even more useless animations than OSX?
Fedora is literally unusable.

double click to maximize, slam top right to view all open windows. simple senpai.
slam your cursor onto the top left corner*
Not fedora, gnome 3
>where is the taskbar?
There is none. Throw your cursor onto the top left of the screen, or hit the windows key (forgot the name) on your keyboard. There is an extension, however, for if you want a taskbar.
>Why is that top bar so empty and useless?
Because you have nothing on it. Here: extensions.gnome.org
>Where's the minimize and maximize button?
Open tweak tool, windows > titlebar buttons
>Why does it have even more useless animations than OSX?
I'm sure you can disable them somehow (use Google).
t. Gnome user
werks on my machine senpai probably just because u used an OS named after a hat lol
Thanks bud, I'm chilling in bed after a few beers and guess I cant left at the moment. I used fedora for work forever, plus my main desktop rig runs gnome. Never had an issue.
I just double checked and you are correct, the min button is missing. I guess I never used it. So much easier to just slam top left and move to the next program.
Also, desktop
fucking love overview mode. too bad gnome is a bit buggy for me. anyone else ever have problems with the terminal? it hangs on startup and i need to reboot to fix it, and when the window spawns it always is in the top left inconveniently
Gnome is how Fedora ships by default.
what version of gnome does fedora ship with? 3.22 latest release? how up to date are fedora's packages compared to ubuntu? how is wayland support, is it really by default now?
I'm thinking about switching to fedora
Fedora 25 ships with 3.22. It's included packages are more up-to-date than Ubuntu's, not Arch level though. However, due to patent issues and other crap a lot of packages are not included and you'll need a thirdparty repo, mainly rpmfusion. Wayland support is pretty good, however no support for proprietary Nvidia drivers with Wayland yet.
>However, due to patent issues and other crap a lot of packages are not included and you'll need a thirdparty repo, mainly rpmfusion.
that sounds like a pain in the ass. is it annoying to set up and work with? what packages is that for, can i get stuff like chromium and open source projects without issue?
>How the fuck do I use this?
you press the windows key alot
install gnome-tweak-tool and some extensions
its nice but i found the switching between open windows a bit annoying
It's not too much of a pain. Adding RPMFusion can be done with one command found on their site. I think Chromium is in the standard repo. However, if you want anything proprietary you'll definitely need to add RPMFusion. I'd recommened Chapeaulinux (chapeaulinux.org
The GNOME way is to put each thing into its own workspace and switch between them. I prefer to switch between workspaces by scrolling over the system bar.
Check out extensions.
installing fedora now on the livecd, wayland seems to work nice. thanks
Uninstall everything
Install arch and mate
done
i have a lot of problems with linux and gnome 3 being one. it looks alright except that shitty touchscreen optimized interface you cant fucking turn off, it runs poorly, and worst of all its completely uncustomizable. i have found only mate and xfce desktops usable without looking entirely like fucking shit no matter what you do, like of course kde5 and gnome 3. im using linux mint mate right now and am pleasantly surprised. but fuck gnome 3 and kde they both fucking suck shit when it comes to hiding user settings and making everything a pain in the ass
why? it looks fucking shitty. are you on mobile?
Is Wayland enabled by default on Fedora?
I have a 3 monitor setup and Wayland just glitches out so I have to stick with Xorg for now. Wayland is close to being ready but I think it was enabled 2-3 versions too soon for Fedora.
Yeah it is on my machine. Just finished the installer. Probably as said
>Wayland support is pretty good, however no support for proprietary Nvidia drivers with Wayland yet.
enabled for any supported hardware. it's working well. no bugs and it seems faster. might just be my imagination
this. only valid answer
I haven't tried it with 3 monitors, but it works fine on dual monitor for me
- you dont need a task bar but if you really want one there is an extension for it
- space for extensions
- extension
- extension
- etc
i fucking hate you so much
Download gnome tweak tools and google gnome extensions. Enjoy your ricing

I mean, I prefer XFCE and MATE, but if I had to use a "modern" DE I'd pick KDE since it's actually useful for someone who is sat at a computer.
Cinnamon is what GNOME 3 should be.
You're just not using the proprietary NVIDIA driver.
>the min button is missing
SuperKey ->Tweak Tool -> Windows -> Min/Max
Here is your (you)
Don't use GNOME. It has literally no customization. It's garbage.
Wayland supports NVIDIA proprietary drivers?
You are supposed to organize everything on virtual desktops and switch between them with either alt+tab or the scrollwheel in the Activities.
Work until you have the money to buy a macbook.
They were made for special people like you.
First, Fedora is not GNOME and GNOME is not Fedora.
Second, WELCOME TO GNOME. Here, developers know better than you about what you want and need from a desktop environment. You are an idiot and the GNOME developers know this. That's why they choose to ignore all feedback from their user base. They, quite simply, are gods, and you should be so lucky to bask in the shit they create.
Yeah, I have intel integrated. Not sure if it's wayland that fixed it but on fedora an annoying bug on debian and ubuntu went away. I use the speakers on my monitor and after screensaver the sound stopped working through HDMI and I had to to xrandr -s and reset my resolution for it to work again. Works on wayland. might just be the new kernel though. or it could be buggy as fuck X

I can't believe you've done this. Don't talk to me or my son ever again.
stupid tablet de
Works for me:)
That's the impression you get from looking at screens but it can actually work very well for PC.
top left hotcorner to overview is just too good
I can't live without it
GNOME is pretty nice
Okay fellas I left my KDE session just to show you how to properly us GNOME.

Everything in it's own workspace unless you tile some things in one + the extensions you like.
how is it like to be autistic
KDE can do some cool shit with hot corners too. Personally I set all 4 corners to each do something and it is really nice.
>activities view is more useful than taskbar
>even then there are some things you can shave off the top bar like it's black shade, which they're thinking to get rid of and make it transparent, activites text button, since there's a hot corner, and application menu which is useless and wasn't a terribly good idea from the beginning

The windows key is called Super
thanks dad
GNOME user here, I'm confused. It looks like you have duplicates of everything in one of your workspaces?
I like KDE5, but the overview mode in KDE is fucking atrocious, and hasn't been updated in nearly a decade. The shading, animations, and organization are all awful, and it doesn't have an option to combine it with a workspace switcher and a search function like GNOME has.
That said, Desktop Grid is the shit even though it hasn't been redesigned for KDE5.
I have never stuck with gnome's terminal for the same reasons and a few others. I just use terminator or xfce4-terminal.
It's an extension to show all windows in overview. That way I can utilize different workspaces and still see everything at once in overview.
I use another extension that allows me to change workspaces by scrolling the mouse wheel over the system bar.
So If I scroll over the bar it switches programs
>chromium
scroll down
>terminal
scroll down
>telegram
scroll down
>mpv
etc
GNOME is good but you have to use quite a few extensions. I'd recommend that any GNOME user check out all of the extensions.
Yeah. I use a corner for traditional overview and another for desktop grid.
Install KDE
gnome is nice except some of the bloat and the fact they dont include the gnome tweak tool. using those types of OSs are supposed to be about choice but they dont want you to change anything? fucking spics....
dont use gnome if you dont like it
>linux
>1366x768
every time.
kek, they STILL haven't fixed the close button bug in desktop grid. Just goes to show how neglected those features of KDE are. I'm gonna make a new email some day and file like a hundred things in bugzilla at them.
