Extensions are small programs that let you customize GNOME to suit your own preferences. To give an example: By default, GNOME doesn’t display the Dash (program overview) after startup. Instead, you have to click in the upper-left corner to make it appear or press the Super key. But you have to think of that on your own first. Extensions provide a solution. How do you get extensions? The easiest way is to install the Extension Manager via FlatHub, search for something like “Dash to Dock” or “Dash to Panel,” and install it. Unfortunately, Gnome isn’t very user-friendly in some respects, but criticism doesn’t seem to change its behavior. Otherwise, it’s very stable and attractive.

I’ve installed Solus a few times before because I like standalone distros. This time I installed your GNOME edition, and I think it’s very good and well-designed. The installer is excellent; everything works right out of the box. Thanks to the integration with Flathub, there’s no shortage of the programs I need. I know you shouldn’t judge a distro after just two or three days of use, but I just wanted to say thank you. I highly recommend Solus.
