    I'm tired of GNOME messing with it's API but hopefully this is the last time since they're switching to a standard system. Besides that, it's my favorite DE on Linux. I have to give plasma 6 a shot when it comes out but right now GNOME feels just right compared to other desktops.

    Gnome doesn't have an extension API. That is why it is prone to breakage, since the code is injected into the actual shell. The upshot of this is that extensions can do pretty much anything. The downside is there is no stable API.

    Personally, I like the current system. I am biased, I am a trusted review on https://extensions.gnome.org

    I have a few extensions to change Gnome in Fedora and have a great experience with them.

    So did I until I updated my GNOME to 44 and all my extensions stopped working

    Change scary, my extension I used that is unmaintained won't work in Gnome 45 and it's Gnomes fault.

    People here are hating on GNOME and honestly idk why. Out of the box it feels the most polished out of anything I've tried so far (GNOME/KDE/XFCE/i3) and I very rarely have issues. I also really like how it has no desktop icons and other (imo) useless clutter. I've been using KDE Plasma recently and while it can look sleek and also provides a lot of functionality, it just feels a bit more hacked together somehow. Still great, but just a tad more unpolished in some areas. In the end all of the DE's/WM's I tried were perfectly nice and usable though, I don't want to hate.

    GNOME is basically the Apple of desktop environments. "You're wrong to want this super common thing, we know what's better for you and don't you defy us!"

    My extensions work fine on fedora

    [–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    I installed the Gnome 45 beta and everything seems to have already been updated to work.

    Mine did too until I updated to Fedora 38 and got GNOME 44
