Last night while I was searching for alternative window managers I discovered this wonderful GNOME Shell theme called “Paper”. After installing it, I’m enjoying looking at my computer screen.
Here’re some screenshots.

| Applications Overview. Look at the menu menu on the top right. |

| Nautilus with folder icons |

| Tweak tool showing the wonderful checkboxes and the settings I had to change to achieve the theme |
Turning Global Dark theme on was a welcome addition to the Paper theme. Read about setting up GNOME with paper theme on my website.
Another useful app I installed is Synapse launcher. Ctrl+Space and it gives me access to everything I need.
With these, somehow, I feel like my computer has gained a few milliseconds in speed.
Subscribe to my Substack Newsletter
As you might have noticed, social media these days prioritize engagement and doesn’t really let people build relationship with an audience. One way to take back some control is to directly be connected to your favorite authors, artists, etc through e-mail. And that’s what subscribing to my newsletter is about, too. I’m intentionally staying away from substack (which is susceptible to enshittification), and self-hosting the newsletter. What that means is also that the mails could land in spam. So, please press “Not spam” if they do end up in spam. Thank you!
