  • I’ve never actually done it, because the only extension I use is Blur My Shell, and the dev is so quick at updating that extension that even when I immediately update to a beta release it’s already marked as compatible, but here it is:

    gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation true

    And if you want to revert back to normal and have extensions be validated again:

    gsettings reset org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation

    I don’t know if there’s a GUI way to do it in one of the extension management platforms, I’ve never really looked













  • I disagree with this order. Specifically, I prefer the Sony skin over my current Pixel 7’s skin (which imo while being pretty great overall is missing some basic features that OneUI and SonyUI have had for a long time).

    Looking at the article, their only issue with it is that the support is only 4 years, while Google offers 7.

    What? Not saying it’s not valid (we all want longer software support!), but wtf does length of software support have to do with rating the UX? They are completely separate things.

    Both are pretty great on Fedora, although Fedora gives Gnome just a tiny bit more attention, and even specifically align Fedora’s release schedule with Gnome’s.

    Gnome will likely be a bit more stable, consistent in UX, and have a workflow that’s very different but pretty amazing when it “clicks”. Gnome has a pretty great Adwaita app ecosystem that matches the system theme very well. Features can take a little while to come to Gnome, because the devs are pretty anal about getting things implemented perfectly before they’re added.

    Plasma is more powerful and customisable, most parts of the system, and apps in the KDE app ecosystem, have a load of options you could spend hours going through and customising to your heart’s content. Plasma out of the box pretty much operates like you’d expect a Windows PC to work (sans the enshittification of course lol) . Plasma adds features rapidly, and just works out the kinks while in production, so-to-speak.

    Both of them are great, albeit very different, which keeps the Linux desktop interesting and varied IMO. I’d try both for a day or two and then make your choice, because it’s highly subjective.
