That you need an extension to disable the overview at startup still boggles my mind and the arrogance of the developers in the thread that started it didn't lessen my antipathy for Gnome at all.

Why wouldn't you want the overview at startup?

Because there is nothing to overwiew yet, obviously.

It provides easy access to search. I understand now though why you wouldn't want it to open automatically (if you have startup programs you want to see instead).

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago

actually, i just want to click one of my pinned panel favorites, but yeah, no need for search basically.

In my case because I have my PC connected to the TV and Steam starting automatically in big screen mode. But according to the devs I'm doing it wrong and should get used to it because it's the better experience when I can go and grab my keyboard to start typing the name of the program I want to start.

Because you already set firefox to autostart
