How do I disable 'Activities' hot corner in GNOME shell?
GNOME shell has the so-called feature "hot corner", that opens the dashboard if the mouse touches the top-left corner of a monitor screen.
I want this disabled I used to have a GNOME shell extension, yet the repository is not found anymore:
git clone git@github.com/Ahrak/gnome-shell-extension-disable-hot-corners.git
fatal: repository 'git@github.com/Ahrak/gnome-shell-extension-disable-hot-corners.git' does not exist

Why not install the gnome-shell-extension directly? It's much easier, and works for gnome in every linux distribution.

You need to call this extensionnohotcorner@azuri.free.fr- at least in the current version. The extension won't start otherwise and you get an error messageGjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: Could not load extension nohotcorner: Error: uuid "nohotcorner@azuri.free.fr" from metadata.json does not match directory name "nohotcorner"

If you have already enabled the infrastructure to use Gnome-Extensions, you can simply go to the extensions webpage, search for "hot corners" and click the switch to turn it on.
Here is an example of the url:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/118/no-topleft-hot-corner/
Here is a screenshot of the button to switch on:
https://imgur.com/eeZ9rge
Obviously this assumes that you have already installed all the bits to make extensions work from the website - see the section on installing shell extensions from a browser here:

Install Gnome Tweak Tools with:
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool.
Once installed open the tweak tool app and go to the option marked extensions on the left:
Next go to the following location HERE and download the "No Top Left Corner" extension by Azuri. This is an extension to work with Gnome-Tweak Tool. When you download, you will be asked for the gnome shell version you are using. You can check it with the following command:
gnome-shell --version.
Once downloaded, go back to the Tweak Tool and at the end of the extensions list is a File button to add more extensions. Click it, and then select the zip file containing the shell extension downloaded.
That's it. It may require a restart. For me it asked for a restart, but even before that the hot corner was off.

The option to disable the "hot corner" wasn't available on the latest version of gnome-tweak-tools up to this answer date, so I manage to add the option with an extension: disable hot corner extension
Just download the compressed file and add it the "Extensions" option, after that enable or disable the "hot corner" as you wish.

Use Gnome Tweaks tool as mentioned before. No need for extensions, though.

You can use gnome tweak tool for that. If you don't have that you can install it using sudo apt-get install sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool. Now
go to second tab called windows manager go to options called hotcorner and now as you can in this image disable/enable hotcorners.

I just installed gnome on lubuntu and am not seeing this option. In fact, the gnome-tweak-tool I just installed doesn't have any top-tabs in the "Windows" left-tab, and searching for "hotcorners" shows nothing. I'd love to tell you what version of gnome-tweak-tool I have, but I can't find that either.

@RichardRiley @ 7yl4r I know I might be a little late with replying but the reason you're not seeing it is because the screenshot is NOT GNOME Tweak Tool but Unity Tweak Tool. GNOME Tweak Tool never had an option to disable the hot corner. To disable the hot corner in GNOME Shell, you have to use an extension, like this one: extensions.gnome.org/extension/118/no-topleft-hot-corner

You need to call this extension
nohotcorner@azuri.free.fr - at least in the current version. The extension won't start otherwise and you get an error message Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: Could not load extension nohotcorner: Error: uuid "nohotcorner@azuri.free.fr" from metadata.json does not match directory name "nohotcorner"– frans

If you have already enabled the infrastructure to use Gnome-Extensions, you can simply go to the extensions webpage, search for "hot corners" and click the switch to turn it on.
Here is an example of the url:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/118/no-topleft-hot-corner/
Here is a screenshot of the button to switch on:

Obviously this assumes that you have already installed all the bits to make extensions work from the website - see the section on installing shell extensions from a browser here:

Install Gnome Tweak Tools with:
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool.
Once installed open the tweak tool app and go to the option marked extensions on the left:
Next go to the following location HERE and download the "No Top Left Corner" extension by Azuri. This is an extension to work with Gnome-Tweak Tool. When you download, you will be asked for the gnome shell version you are using. You can check it with the following command:
gnome-shell --version.
Once downloaded, go back to the Tweak Tool and at the end of the extensions list is a File button to add more extensions. Click it, and then select the zip file containing the shell extension downloaded.
That's it. It may require a restart. For me it asked for a restart, but even before that the hot corner was off.

The option to disable the "hot corner" wasn't available on the latest version of gnome-tweak-tools up to this answer date, so I manage to add the option with an extension: disable hot corner extension
Just download the compressed file and add it the "Extensions" option, after that enable or disable the "hot corner" as you wish.

Use Gnome Tweaks tool as mentioned before. No need for extensions, though.

You can use gnome tweak tool for that. If you don't have that you can install it using sudo apt-get install sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool. Now
go to second tab called windows manager go to options called hotcorner and now as you can in this image disable/enable hotcorners.

I just installed gnome on lubuntu and am not seeing this option. In fact, the gnome-tweak-tool I just installed doesn't have any top-tabs in the "Windows" left-tab, and searching for "hotcorners" shows nothing. I'd love to tell you what version of gnome-tweak-tool I have, but I can't find that either.

@RichardRiley @ 7yl4r I know I might be a little late with replying but the reason you're not seeing it is because the screenshot is NOT GNOME Tweak Tool but Unity Tweak Tool. GNOME Tweak Tool never had an option to disable the hot corner. To disable the hot corner in GNOME Shell, you have to use an extension, like this one: extensions.gnome.org/extension/118/no-topleft-hot-corner
