Tweaks
Make sure new windows go to the top:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-new-windows 'smart'
Enable extra keyboard layouts, including EURkey:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true
Enable trackball scrolling with a special mouse button:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.trackball scroll-wheel-emulation-button 11
Turn Caps Lock into Ctrl (and Ctrl into Hyper):
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options \[\'ctrl:hyper_capscontrol\'\]
Refresh the icon cache
If icons for applications installed via Flatpak don’t get displayed, these commands tend to solve the issue:
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/icons/hicolor/
sudo gtk4-update-icon-cache -f /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/icons/hicolor/
