I made a script that configures Ubuntu (mainly its GNOME) the way I like it. I also made it work in Debian and Fedora. (github.com)

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
  • install flatpak and snap plugins into gnome-software (doesn't work on Fedora)
  • 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

I checked and Fedora dropped support for the snap plugin. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/enable-snap-in-gnome-software/76134

These are also the only packages related to gnome-software:

From what I remember, their gnome-software already has flatpak support. So all that will be missing is the GUI snap support. Could've been worse.

Interesting, thanks for the research!

Snaps are unsandboxed on Systems without AppArmor so they are not a useful cross platform technology anyways.

Yeah, that sucks. I would still want it if I were to use Fedora, as an option.

Yup but people dont care to maintain it. It was barely maintained for a longer time

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.
