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
  • 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

      On Ubuntu, do you also remove the Snap store and install gnome-software?

      Do you add the PPAs for updated flatpak version and dependencies like bubblewrap?

        Nope, I don’t touch the snap-store on Ubuntus (to be fair I don’t install any snap plugins for gnome software center on Debian/Fedora either). As for flatpak, it’s installed via apt from the regular repos. I didn’t even know there was an up to date PPA.

        I know about this but that’s meant for 18.04 and earlier.

        Edit: these are good suggestions tho. Something to work on to improve it even more.
