The plugin install on Gnome is quicker and less invasive (doesn’t require escalated permissions) than installing PowerToys.
I also like that Gnome plugins let me choose only the plugins I want. PowerToys leaves me with many installed features I’m not using. I think they at least all default to turned off. Gnome does save me a few moments of configuration, too, as the plugin can default to “on” since each plugin is separate.
And Gnome’s tiling has good defaults. PowerToys still uses “these are power users” as an excuse to ignore usability feedback.
Gnome plugin are great. I’ve seen complaints about them breaking when gnome is upgraded, but I haven’t experienced any problems myself.
My only complaint is discoverability. I was rawdogging gnome in fedora for a while before i discovered the extension manager app in the Store. This should be built in!
No true. I use it only for FancyZones. A feature not native to Linux. In gnome I also have to install a plugin to get this functionality.
I’m thankful for both.
