Gnome has had vertically stacked workspaces for a long time. The Gnome 40 update unfortunately made the switch to a horizontal layout. A choice that many Gnome users disagree with. This extension Aims to replace the new Gnome overview with something that resembles the old style.
Or you can install it manually:
git clone https://github.com/RensAlthuis/vertical-overview.git
cd vertical-overview
make
make install
If you use X11, reload the server (press Alt-F2
and type r
).
If you use Wayland, log out and log in.
You can detect your Windowing System in Settings → About.
Then enable the extension in "Extensions" application or via command:
gnome-extensions enable vertical-overview@RensAlthuis.github.com
@romgrk and @m2-farzan have got you covered Until I get around to adding this: RensAlthuis#7 (comment)
I never expected this to be something I have to consider. I really don't expect anyone to donate, nor do I want anyone to feel obligated to do so. I do this because I enjoy it and will for sure keeping working on it as long as I can. However multiple people have asked me to make a donation button, so here it is. If you are considering donating, Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
