Always remember too that there are other highly customizable desktops. MATE, XFCE, and even a plain WM (window manager (or desktop with less features)) with DE (desktop environment (WM with fancy tools to allow buttons like volume +/- to work properly (and more))) tools added on top (it counts as a DE) can make for amazing results given enough time (hour to hour and a half tops).

Here's a list of my favorite Gnome shell extensions:

  • Alt Tab Workspace: Better looking alt tabbing experience
  • Applications menu
  • Auto Move Windows: Automatically put spotify, email app, slack in my second workspace
  • Caffeine: Makes your computer stay awake
  • Clipboard manager: can't live without that
  • OpenWeather
  • StealMyFocus: no more "app is ready", it takes you right there

Gnome is less configurable then xfce , mate or dde. Gnome gives u superb experience compared to other DEs.

Hi . there is an amazing cursor called "Bibata"
you can install by these commands:

https://www.gnome-look.org/browse/cat/107/order/latest/
sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KaizIqbal/Bibata_Cursor/master/Bibata.sh)"

OR

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KaizIqbal/Bibata_Cursor/master/Bibata.sh)"

then Select it from Tweaks.

But

if you want to install from Gnome-Looks

You must download it (from "Files" and "DL" button

then Extract it and

sudo cp -r  PATH/TO/EXTRACTED/DIRECTORY/     /usr/share/icons

then select it in Tweaks
