Newer Gnome on older laptops?

[Patrik Bubák]

I figured, that largely the extensions I was using were the culprit,
slowing the shell down dramatically, but disabling them presented me
with a slight disadvantage. For example, not using Top Icons I may miss
notifications from apps that don't use the regular notification system
and the bottom of the screen requires quite a bit of pressure to reveal
the message tray. Is there a setting to change the pressure required for
the bottom edge of the screen to reveal the tray?

Sent using Evolution from Ubuntu

Nothing ruins creativity like too many voices weighing in. We call it
the Ice Cream Principle. Tell 10 people to go get ice cream with one
condition: they all have to agree on one flavour. That flavour is going
to be chocolate or vanilla every time. Groups of people don't agree on
what's cool or interesting, they agree on what's easy to agree on.
