This saves me an extension, but i dont see it fully solving the issue of “its not clear its opens the overview” that the activities button had. Someone recommended to include a tip in gnome tour so that might help to solve it.

In the mockup, a suggestion was made which i think looks very interesting in the animation they provided

Oh I like the look of that! I’m generally very happy with how Gnome looks/works and don’t use extensions that modify the UI, but if someone slapped together on that did this, I might actually use it.

Personally, I don’t mind. But hopefully, new users will know where to find available applications. I’m not sure…

This isn’t to change the launcher or dock, just the top left of the status bar I think.

That’s right. But the way (I think) it’s going to work, the Applications button will be replaced by the new workspace indicator thing, and clicking it will still open the application grid. So there won’t be a button labeled Applications anymore…

There’s a tutorial when you first sign into GNOME which shows you where to go.

Consider this: Is it obvious that the four-square logo on Windows is the start menu? It is if someone told you or if you spent your whole life on Windows. It’s not if you come from macOS (which has no main menu per se) or you’re unfamiliar with computers.

Besides, the new indicator does exactly what’s written on the tin: it shows you your virtual desktops when you click on the preview of which virtual desktop you’re on.

Uh aren’t they replacing the “Activities button” not the application button? Also the super key exists, so the application is redundant and disabled in my setup.

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.
