From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I made an article listing the best Gnome shell extensions. Hopefully you'll find something new. Let me know if there's a good extension I missed.

Sorry for being a GNOME hater, but I find it really telling that every GNOME user seems to be dependant on a list of extensions to get even basic desktop functionality ;)

The desktop is completely usable without extensions. However, it is true that many extensions add functionality that should be built into Gnome itself. For example, there has been a PR open for an option to change the screenshots location since ~3.14, but nothing has happened.
