That's what I fucking hate about it, great extensions, couldn't fucking settle on an API that doesn't break every update. When will the gnome devs ever be content with themselves

[-] cole@lemdro.id 7 points 1 year ago

there is no API, which is the problem. It's just straight code injection. That's why extensions can be so powerful. A stable API would compromise their freedom for sure

Okay then, I'm never gonna update gnome again I guess. The machine I use it on is for work, so I care about stability. Or should I have never chosen gnome in the first place?

I'm not sure that is a fair reaction. If your workflow relies heavily on many complex extensions that have a history of updating slow it is probably worth just... waiting a bit? You don't HAVE to be on the bleeding edge of Gnome releases. With a fairly minimal extensions list I've not had problems updating to new releases for a long long time
