<p>Before Gnome started removing all useful features from applications and I switched to <a href="../kde/">KDE</a>, I was using Gnome for a long time.</p>
<p>Here's my Gnome set-up. I'll just list down the steps I used on my favorite <a href="../archlinux/">Arch Linux</a> to get to my current set up.</p>
<h2 id="gnome-display-manager">GNOME display manager</h2>
<p>For GNOME Shell, GDM provides the most seamless integration. Although it is slightly slow, it works without problems.</p>
<p>I'd gdm installed and running automatically at startup.</p>
<pre><code>pacman -S gdm
systemctl enable gdm
</code></pre><h2 id="gnome">GNOME</h2>
<pre><code>pacman -S gnome gnome-extra
</code></pre><p>To start using GNOME, choose GNOME in GDM while logging in.</p>
<p>Install Tweak tool to edit a myriad of options.</p>
<pre><code>pacman -S gnome-tweak-tool
</code></pre><h2 id="shell-extensions">Shell extensions</h2>
<p>Go to <a href="http://extensions.gnome.org/">extensions.gnome.org</a> to install these:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/15/alternatetab/">AlternateTab</a></li>
<li><a href="https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/307/dash-to-dock/">Dash to Dock</a></li>
<li><a href="https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/545/hide-top-bar/">Hide top bar</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="themes">Themes</h2>
<p>A beautiful, material design based theme is <a href="http://snwh.org/paper">Paper</a>. To install it you can either download the tar balls and extract it to the specific folder, or clone git (so that updating is easier). Let's say you're cloning the repositories to ~/Downloads</p>
<pre><code>cd ~/Downloads
git clone [email protected]:snwh/paper-gtk-theme.git
git clone [email protected]:snwh/paper-icon-theme.git
cd ~
mkdir .themes # if doesn't exist
mkdir .icons # if doesn't exist
ln -s ~/Downloads/paper-gtk-theme/Paper .themes/
ln -s ~/Downloads/paper-icon-theme/Paper .icons/
</code></pre><p>You can now switch to these themes in Tweak tool -> Appearance -> (GTK+|Icons|Shell theme) -> Paper</p>
<p>To update the themes a month or so later, you just go to the respective directories in <code>~/Downloads</code> and do <code>git pull</code></p>
<p>Now you can install some of <a href="../applications/">my favorite applications</a>.</p>
