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 use the following:

AppIndicator/KStatusNotifierItem support(Most apps rely on trays so this is useful)
Clipboard Indicator(I wish Gnome natively had this but its fine Cinnamon doesnt to)
Desktop Logo
Gtile(I want a tiling window manager like thing for Gnome i heard its faster)
Quick Settings Audio Panel
GSConnect (Looks better,Integrates better with GNOME)
Alphabetical App Grid
Arch LINUX Updater
Removable Drive Menu

i created this cause i wonder who uses Gnome on the Fediverse without plugins and maybe Gnome Tweaks and i may find some useful extensions here
Also Cinnamon users may count aswell but idk this is primary focused on GNOME
i also like my GNOME almost stock

Pano perhaps? It doesn't show up at the cursor but you can search in it, the keyboard works the way you would expect and it auto inserts on selection.

Thanks for your input, but it seems the Pano gnome extensions page hasn't been updated for ages. I'm running GNOME 48 and the extension page shows GNOME 45 as the latest supported version.

Doesn't matter, I realized Clipboard Indicator can be called by a key combination, it just won't float in the middle or below my mouse cursor. I guess without creating my own, I'm not gonna get it any better :)
