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.

KDE Plasma user of 4 years here, I am currently giving GNOME a try with Fedora Workstation. Reading through here, I'm going to try a few new extensions, thanks a lot :)
My currently used extensions are:
There's a feature I'm really missing though. On KDE Plasma 5 the clipboard manager opened a window right below your mouse on pressing Super+V. This window showed all the clipboard entries, was text-searchable and I could navigate and use/enter clipboard entries with my keyboard. Does anybody know of something like this for GNOME?
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 :)
