Thanks for your input, but it seems the Pano gnome extensions page hasn't been updated for ages. I'm running GNOME 48 and the extension page shows GNOME 45 as the latest supported version.

Doesn't matter, I realized Clipboard Indicator can be called by a key combination, it just won't float in the middle or below my mouse cursor. I guess without creating my own, I'm not gonna get it any better :)

Thanks to you I realized, Clipboard Indicator can do that too. So now I bound Super+V to show the clipboard, and I can search it with the keyboard, select entries, etc.

KDE Plasma user of 4 years here, I am currently giving GNOME a try with Fedora Workstation. Reading through here, I'm going to try a few new extensions, thanks a lot :)

My currently used extensions are:

• AATWS (advanced alt-tab window switcher)
• Clipboard Indicator
• Vitals (system resource usage)
• AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support
• Caffeine
• Launch New Instance
• No overview at start-up
• Places Status Indicator
• Workspace Indicator

There's a feature I'm really missing though. On KDE Plasma 5 the clipboard manager opened a window right below your mouse on pressing Super+V. This window showed all the clipboard entries, was text-searchable and I could navigate and use/enter clipboard entries with my keyboard. Does anybody know of something like this for GNOME?

Just a misunderstanding, then. I did not intend to talk down on a hosting provider I don't even know. Instead, I prioritize hetzner because I'm familiar with them and they're based in europe.

I didn't intend to be elitist about anything and I actually fail to see the elitism by saying "that hoster is not about providing cheap storage"? Maybe there's something in the english language I do not pickup on?

Yeah, hetzner's more about having your own servers than providing cheap storage.

Proton also seems to be interesting. Privacy by default and being swiss based definitely are plus points.

Thanks for the mentions!

you can run the open source control plane called Headscale instead of relying on Tailscale’s (the company) free service tier

Ah, that sounds more interesting. I still have time until I buy everything, there's still going to be a lot of research, especially with all the ideas and feedback people have given me in this thread.

I'll definitely try it, thanks!

Not sure if it checks all the boxes perfectly, but if not it is probably as close as youll find ready-made

That's a good point. To have cohesion and good integration, some sacrifices have to be made. This seems better than having 20 independent services working with (and sometimes probably against) each other.

Thanks for the heads-up! Those sound like acceptable problems, as long as they're temporary and my data is safe.

Google is evil but I know that GDrive has pretty low prices on data storage [...] Don’t forget to encrypt everything when uploading to these services!

That is what I am hoping for :) My free Google account grants me 15GB of online storage and my free Microsoft account provides me with another 5GB. The 15 GB should be enough for encrypted photo backups, while 5GB definitely is enough for encrypted calendar, contact and probably some document backups. I just need to find a way to automate backups to these.

based in the USA, priced at 3$/TB/month

If I am going to pay money for something and with how the world currently is, I'm going to use some EU based service. My only VPS resides at hetzner, if the need arises I will probably just add a storage volume to my VPS or upgrade it to the next tier.

Up to personal preference if you trust a fork for this work

I see 3600 stars and I guess that's kinda trustworthy :) I also do like some of the enhancements listed on the github page. I'll try it, thank you very much!
