spoilermy issue with gnome is that it's not api staple enough to trust the plugins you install will keep working

    spoilerThat's a fair criticism. I imagine as it matures more this might become less of an issue (yes it's been around for ages but desktop Linux is only recently gaining some traction, so I give them some slack there), but currently it's absolutely GNOME's biggest downfall.

    It's also partially why I don't recommend it for Windows refugees, if you have any expectations of how it should function there's a good chance it just won't work that way, and the extensions that make it work how you want it to are unreliable.

    I personally have a cursed setup with GNOME and hyprland installed. I retreat to GNOME whenever my hyprland setup is borked, which is most of the time.
