    I use Gnome with extensions and are quite happy. But it's true. the worst part is when they break after a new version comes out.

    Fun Fact: You can just add the new version number to some file (can't remember which) for each extension and many of them work just fine. It's from a list of version numbers where they decide whether an extension can be run on a given Gnome Version. And new versions are not automatically added to that list.

    Metadata.~~conf~~

    Or just wait a while before updating, increasing the chance of extentions being updated

    Edit .json

    [–] eta@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    I just had a look and I think I edited "metadata.json" for every extension in "$HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/". I got it from this tutorial.

    Yeah I once waited but I think it took multiple months for each maintainer to update. I don't blame them tho. They update their projects when they can. I just wish it would not necessarily break since it apparently doesn't really need to be broken.

    There is literally one working todo thingy extension for GNOME. KDE has one included.

    [–] nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

    Yeah I very much like dislike the culture of Gnome... maybe I'll try something else someday. KDE isn't for me but Cosmic maybe.

    [–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Same with Manjaro and the AUR.

    I never had too many issues with GNOME but didn't install loads of extensions. Looking forward to seeing Cosmic grow and develop further, took a while but finally in beta

    I've only ever used DEs that aren't gnome. And that wasn't really by choice - it was a workplace. But after hearing about how gnome treats their users... fuck that. I went so far recently as to try to make a nix system that was 100% free of gnome shit and I have actually hard a really difficult time because it has wormed its way into other dependencies.

    I used to be a Gnome fan. But I hate the direction they took from Gnome shell 4 onwards. Now I use KDE and I'm happy with it.

    Try mediawiki for a change. You'll soon be happy about the few update troubles you had with gnome.
