  • Gnome Shell Extensions are powerful because they are allowed to hook into everything the gnome-shell process does. If the extension API would be changed so they couldn’t crash our shell session, extensions would become way less powerful and be mostly useless.


    Nevertheless, it would be great if Gnome Shell could keep/recover your application state after restarting (like KWin).

    As someone who develops and distributes a small application exclusively on Flathub, I prefer that everyone uses the exact same package on every system. That way I know that if something doesn’t work, the issue should be easy to reproduce.

    Recently, there was a situation where a user indicated in the comments of a release announcement that a newly introduced feature “doesn’t work”. It turned out that they installed a third-party package from the AUR (that wasn’t updated yet) without knowing that this isn’t the official and up to date version.
