Gnome3 is great if you don’t expect it to look and behave like Windows (there’s KDE for that).
Gnome is meant to be controlled with the keyboard and a touchpad, without having to memorize shortcut combos or complicated gestures.
And it works perfectly.
If you feel like you need lots of plugins, use KDE Plasma instead. It can be customized to work very similar to Gnome3 out of the box, and has a lot more options.
Fun fact, most extensions don’t even break, they just have a fixed value as a compatibile version…
A popular example is, GS connect, it was marked as incompatible with gnome 44, but by editing the compatible version, it worked fine.
Any pluging you install on gnome is going against what gnome is made for, it’s supposed to be barren of function so as to not overwhelm the user, and reduce the number of bug reports the devs are receiving

Wish there was a first-party clipboard manager in GNOME so I don’t have to hunt for an extension
