Haven't used this on 28 yet, but I can't imagine it would be too different.

It is not any different. It changed between 24 and 25 or 25 and 26, I forget which. Just a syntax change for the timer. But otherwise the same process.

I already configured it using your guide. Works great.

How to create a custom shortcut for terminal
I usually already have a terminal window open and just have gotten in the habit of hitting Ctrl+N to open a new one. This woudl be easier because I wouldn't have to Alt+Tab to a sessions first...

It's Ctrl + Shift + T to open a new tab in terminal.
I just use the default terminal with green on black. The tabs label themselves. It's very nice.

Ctrl + Alt + T opens a new terminal in Ubuntu.

Here's my default list of packages:
I also install Telegram.
And I have all of my dotfiles for zsh, tmux, and vim in Git.
-
I also install these GNOME extensions: Dash to Dock, caffeine, coverflow alt-tab, and easyscreencast. And I use the Papirus icon theme.
-
@stacksofplates I put Telegram on my NextCloud so that it is always the same one with me, automatically, wherever I install.

Interesting but you don’t have to do that.

Yeah. I'm just lazy and stick it in /opt. It auto creates the launcher so I don't really need to do anything. And once in a blue moon when I reload my laptop I have to unpack the tarball and do it again.

No, definitely not. But it works really well.

Yeah, it's crazy trivial to install.
