From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

SOLVED GNOME extensions stopped working after upgrade to Fedora Workstation 42 (lemm.ee)

I've just upgraded to Fedora Workstation 42 and am now unable to activate any GNOME extensions. The little switches in the GUI do not respond and it's the same for all extensions. The Extensions and Extensions Manager apps are both installed as flatpaks - do I need to adjust their permissions in Flatseal? Is the problem due to something else? Thanks!

Edit/solution: I totally missed the 'Use Extensions' switch at the very top. All my extensions are working on the current GNOME version (48) now. I am the most silly. Hopefully the other solutions in the comments will be useful to someone else in future :)

This is really annoying.

I’m trying to use as little extensions as possible so I only use 4. 2 out of them haven’t upgraded to 48 yet and aren’t usable for now.

This is especially annoying because I’m trying to respect Gnomés philosophy with my extensions..

I get you, like "been there, done that"

Nowadays I have like 10 if not 15 extensions (most of which are not essential to my workflow) and they make the already wonderful Gnome base just better for me personally

this is why I usually wait with recent distribution upgrades, another upside is: it saves me a bunch of headaches too since – by the time I do upgrade – all the little bugs have usually been fixed

Yeah I should clearly wait more before upgrading. I kind of know it’s, but I keep repeating the same mistake😅

Still, at one point, I might try to reproduce what I love about Gnome (1 window per workspace and the ability to switch between them) in KDE.

valid, I just feel like Gnome is a rly solid base for me, with one of the most intuitive workflows and consistent designs out there

the ecosystem of apps is just superb too

Oh I love Gnome too. It’s 95% perfect and I ain’t sure I can find better.
