    Is the experience better these days? I stopped using Gnome because of the extension. The extensions broke basically with every update. This about 5 years ago though.

      Since the 6-7 extensions I use can be slow to upgrade to the next version, I’m also trying to wait around a month before upgrading to the next Gnome version.

      But sometimes I ain’t wise enough to wait😅

      They still do, because extensions have to declare support for each versions (I wish there was a better way) and some maintainers don’t test ahead of time. But most of the time you can make them work by adding the latest GNOME version into the extension’s metadata.json (I personally open pull requests when that happens)
