Hi!

You should be able to install GNOME DE on Qubes OS dom0 with.

`sudo qubes-dom0-update gnome-shell`

Install extensions according to instructions [here](https://www.pragmaticlinux.com/2021/06/manually-install-a-gnome-shell-extension-from-a-zip-file/).

  ID=`xdotool getwindowfocus`
  QUBE=`xprop _QUBES_VMNAME -id $ID|cut -f2 -d\" `
  if [[ "$QUBE" == "_QUBES_VMNAME:  not found." ]]; then
    gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.pop-shell hint-color-rgba 'white'
  else

I am curious if anybody has tried this method and what security concerns may be present.
