  • If you use a rolling release Distro with Gnome

    In a move which is likely to add more work for developers and frustrate
    desktop users on rolling release distributions, the GNOME project is
    changing the way extensions work. This change will break both forward
    and backward compatibility. "Extensions that target older GNOME versions
    will not work in GNOME 45. Likewise, extensions that are adapted to work
    with GNOME 45 will not work in older versions. You can still support
    more than one GNOME version, but you will have to upload different
    versions to extensions.gnome.org for pre- and post-45 support." Details
    on this change can be found in the project's....

    The best response to this would be to drop Gnome support from
    Rolling Release distributions. There are much nicer Desktop Environments.
