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.

Use gnome as is. If you need something you can configure, use Kde Plasma.
There are lots of ways in which modified GNOME is an excellent experience 😅
Its good to acknowledge that lack of customization is a central tradeoff of its design, but if they don't know whether what they need is possible, it's entirely valid for them to ask. Telling them not to do what they need and use something else seems unlikely to be a helpful contribution to the discussion.
For all they know there's an easy way to do exactly what they need, or a well maintained extension that will fill their usecase perfectly. From other replies it seems like they may have already gotten a really useful answer
The problem is that gnome breaks extensions all the time. I gave up customizing it just because of that.
This, relying on third party developers just to have basic UX options like Dash to Panel, only to be broken by GNOME updates is insane. The fact that they allow extensions in the first place is great but they really dont care about user experience in the modded realm when they push huge breaking changes from version to version.
