Extensions can crash your system on GNOME as they modify the shell itself, so running incompatible extensions is a real problem. The upside to this is that when you find an extension and it has your version on it, it’s guaranteed to run. Fyi you can easilly override the version requirements.

GNOME major upgrades (v48, v49…) always break extensions by design to force the extension maintainers to update. It’s generally recommended to hold off on upgrading for a few weeks to give maintainers time to update their extensions.

It’s against their interest to offer this as they have everything to gain by making you install their proprietary application and capturing you inside their ecosystem where they don’t have to compete fairly. Would Steam be in the position it’s in if you didn’t have to install it to download your games?

GNOME’s always been customizable with gsettings and extensions, the problem is that the options aren’t exposed in the user settings and in the case of the extensions they are only available through third party software. The upside to this is that the desktop environment is leaner which allows faster development and generally less bugs.

Why unfortunately? GNOME puts a lot of work in accessibility and being viable on every device.

For mbin: fedia.io##article:has(header:has(h2:has-text(/trump/i))) if you want case sensitivity drop the i: fedia.io##article:has(header:has(h2:has-text(/ICE/)))

How bad can it be? It’s just GNOME with a few extensions to make it look like windows.

As I explained elsewhere there is no official app to change this setting

You’re skipping a step here, first a decision needs to be made on whether or not the default will change, then and only then can they decide whether it’s worth adding something like a toggle to the mouse settings panel, which would be trivial btw.

Steam reviews aren’t really a good quality metric, a 6/10 game can have 95% ratings, it’s the rotten tomatoes of video games.

You could always read the original source and find out the intent, but who has time for that?

Part of the problem here is that those extra permissions weren’t required if you used Apple’s ad service. They stifled competition in their own favor.

It’s Microsoft, they have all the data. And quite frankly it doesn’t surprise even a little bit, i doubt even 5% of people moved around the taskbar, people are just ready to hitch themselves to every bandwagon they see shitting on Microsoft.

Yes they actually review the extensions, you’ll find more information on the blogpost from last week.

GNOME manually reviews every extension, and they understandably don’t want to review AI generated code.

It’s disabled by default upstream as it’s still considered experimental, some distributions choose to override the upstream default.

Congratulations

Thanks. But in all seriousness i was trying to convey that your initial argument - experienced users not enabling pkgstats didn’t make much sense. It’s just funny in this case because you’ve been using arch for a decade and yet don’t know this basic thing.

Wouldn’t that mean the opposite - that you are actually not very experienced, or knowledgeable at least about arch? I’ve been using arch for a couple of years and “heard” of it just fine.

The majority of users, especially experienced ones don’t enable pkgstats.

Why would an experienced user not enable pkgstats? Anyways the biggest bias here is that arch inherently caters to power users which are going to have very different needs and likes than regular people.

Fractional scaling is a compositor issue, not a linux issue, so in this case kwin. But yes, fractional scaling in general is always problematic as there’s no way to cleanly multiply pixels by fractions, so you get wonky fonts, UI that doesn’t quite fit… and whatever hacks your compositor has on top to make it look better, it’s best to avoid it if possible and only increase the font size.
