I want to know how I'm add this global menu on my debian gnome. It would be awesome have this resource on my desktop. If anyone in there have any solution or other way to get it, I appreciate.

Well, after a bit of trial and errors, i managed to make fildem work in my gnome 42, debian testing:

Steps

First, download the extension from the gnome extension store: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4114/fildem-global-menu/

  • Unzip the fildemGMenugonza.com.v2.shell-extension.zip
  • add "42" to the metadata.json
  • Re-zip
  • gnome-extensions install ./that_modified.zip

Then restart the gnome session (alt + F2, type r and enter). Godo extensions and you may toggle on the fildem extension.

Next, clone the repo and

  • sudo python setup.py install It ran without errors.. but fildem my not work because bamf or keybinder are not installed. For debian, i installed these two with
  • sudo apt install libbamf3-dev libkeybinder-3.0-dev

fildem still gave me error: future not found ... ok,

  • pip install future

Again, and this time fildem and fildem-hud gave me the app menu on the top! image

Although this is a kind of ugly way workaround, it works with many applications like vscode and sublime text :) *Libre office seems not working though.
