Install AUR Helper (yay) sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git cd yay makepkg -si This rebuilds yay against your current system libraries so it can run normally. 2. Install Unite from AUR yay -S gnome-shell-extension-unite The extension installs to: /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/unite@hardpixel.eu 3. Restart GNOME Shell Because GNOME on Wayland cannot reload the shell using Alt + F2 → r, you must: Log out → Log back in This allows GNOME to detect new system-wide extensions. 4. Verify Unite Installed gnome-extensions list unite@hardpixel.eu 5. Enable the Unite Extension gnome-extensions enable unite@hardpixel.eu 6. Open Unite Preferences (Settings) gnome-extensions prefs unite@hardpixel.eu 7. Optional: Install GNOME Extensions App (GUI) sudo pacman -S gnome-shell-extensions gnome-shell-extension-appindicator
