I actually really like keeping the dock out of the way in the activities view, I’m not a fan of Windows/MacOS style taskbars/docks on the desktop.
Blur my shell is nice, but it doesn’t work properly on multi-monitor setups in Gnome 44 at the moment (there’s an open github issue about it). I definitely plan on reinstalling it once that’s resolved.
Gsconnect looks cool, I’ll check that out.
I genuinely really like stock gnome. The one thing it’s missing for me is corner/quarter tiling support. There are extensions for it, but they break other stuff like applications resizing together when side by side.
Not the person who you replied to- Dunno if you saw the news, but gnome is developing a feature that's a little bit like tiling that will include snapping to quarters of the screen, I'm really excited about it!
GSconnect is the gnome/gtk implementation of KDE connect, so if you have an android phone you'll need the KDE connect app on your phone, which you can find on f-droid (also unfortunately the clipboard sharing features don't work in modern versions of android, though that may be fixable with adb commands, root, or a custom ROM, I'm not sure. It drove me nuts until I went and looked up why it wasn't working)
I like your setup! The colors on your wallpaper are very pleasant
I used to use dash to dock until my most recent reinstall when I decided just to not bother- honestly I don't really miss it, I'm totally used to it just not being there now.
In fairness though I have a small laptop with a small screen, so the gained screen real estate is worth a fair bit to me, otherwise I might still just use a panel
I already had the AVR, and sometimes my setup includes an Xbox 360 so I'll use it as an HDMI switch as well. If I ever buy a TV again, I'll move the AVR to that then buy a Rekkr and another set of speakers for the desk.

For a second, I thought the stereo was a VCR

What software dock is that on your middle screen?
Cris_Color@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y
It appears to be the Gnome dashboard, part of the gnome desktop environment on linux

This is correct, just vanilla Gnome.

I don't know how you can use stock GNOME I find it really ugly
My recommendations as extentions would be
Dash to dock Blur by shell Gsconnect

Looks like GNOME’s default

Why not complete the schiit stack with the Rekkr instead of that massive avr? Unless of course you’re running surround at your desk.
