It has always offered a cohesive, easy-to-navigate workspace that felt like macOS in all the right ways. It\u2019s right up there with KDE in being one of the best desktop environments of all time.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, it\u2019s not perfect. The out-of-the-box experience is lacking, to say the least, and some of the design choices remain questionable. Thankfully, GNOME does allow for the use of extensions, some of which can completely transform the user interface. Many of these I would even consider essential, given how quirky and frustrating the default workflow can often be.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be listing a few favorites here, all of which are essential to my daily workflow.<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tGNOME OS revealed what Linux is actually becoming<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">It will be more than a Desktop Environment soon.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"easy-eject\">\n            Easy eject<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<p>                            &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/can-use-gnome-without-these-extensions-but-dont-want-to\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can use GNOME without these 5 extensions, but I really don\u2019t want to https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/can-use-gnome-without-these-extensions-but-dont-want-to\/&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":235557,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2026\/04\/gnome-desktop-install.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-235556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235556"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235556"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235556\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":235558,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235556\/revisions\/235558"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
