Firefox 115 can silently remotely disable my extension on any site
Extension Manager [0] allows for installing Gnome extensions through an libadwaita app.
This replaces the Gnome Extensions app and the browser extension.

How to remove 'gnome-shell-extensions'?
If I remember correctly you need gnome-shell-extensions for the auto update to work in extension manager. https://github.com/mjakeman/extension-manager
- I'm getting this error on Arch Linux and I'm unable to install extensions. Any tips on solving this?

GNOME 44 is out now
You can use https://github.com/mjakeman/extension-manager to check whether your extensions have support for a particular gnome version from the upgrade assistant.

the gnome extensions website doesn't detect the gnome browser connector, despite having it installed as well as the browser extension
FWIW, the GNOME Extensions addon broke on Firefox 110.1 (installed natively) on Arch Linux for me too at least a week ago. I've tried troubleshooting why, but came up with little. I've concluded it's just dead for some reason, on my system at least. I have since uninstalled it and have been using Extension Manager instead to manage my shell extensions for the time being. No complaints here.

Can't install Gnome Shell Extensions
My suggestion would be to start using https://github.com/mjakeman/extension-manager instead. I think it's much better than the browser-based way of installing them.

Getting upset with Manjaro lately
Bonus tip: Extension Manager is an app to manage your extensions.

extensions not compatible
https://github.com/mjakeman/extension-manager can show you a list of compatible extensions before you upgrade, and it also allows you to search and install extensions without the browser extension.

Hey, does any bothy know how to solve this problem? Thanks!
Finally, you might want to check out the Extension Manager app, this makes managing extension easier in my opinion.

Windows 11 now comes with its own adware
Regarding the stability issue on a dev machine - you may be interested in playing with one of the immutable-os distros, such as SilverBlue (fedora based).
The high-level take-away is you can't break your actual OS since it's root filesystem is read-only, and you use "pet" containers (on docker, podman, whatever) to do your work in. Applications are either sandboxed via Flatpak, or installed/run inside your pet containers. If your pet container dies, you cry about it for a moment, and when you're ready you get a new one - your actual os and other containers remain unaffected.
I use distrobox[1] to create/run the pet containers.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Distrobox is a tool that enables us to try Linux distro CLI, including their package manager. This requires a containerization tool (e.g., Docker). In Windows, this can be achieved using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
- Distrobox: Use any Linux distribution inside your terminal

Fedora Atomic Desktops
I use containerized versions of things, ubuntu and chainguard images mostly.
You can always create containers with init if that's how you want to do that though. Some distros publish images that come that way: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/useful_...

Yes, you can do that but I've seen others use something like distrobox to run linux inside of SteamOS: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/posts/steamdeck_guide.md

How much will I screw up my system after installing Merkuro Calendar (KDE Akonadi application), formerly called Kalendar, on GNOME?

Battery consumption of using remote development with WSL2?
Btw #3: Depending on what the user is trying to accomplish, e.g. maybe to make WSL(2) itself more of a "subsystem" than a "container engine", using something like Distrobox or nsbox.dev can be a good idea (along with Docker or Podman in Distrobox's case; the other one uses systemd-nspawn).

Cannot run containers with Distrobox
1. Find here in "Containers Distros" section the distro image that you want to install ("Toolbox" versions are better because they are configured for Distrobox) and get it URL: https://distrobox.it/compatibility/#containers-distros 2. Use that URL to create Distrobox: distrobox create -i registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:39 -n fedora_1_39 3. Enter Distrobox fedora_1_39: distrobox enter fedora_1_39 4. You are already in Distrobox console. Look at the name in console, it should be include the container name. 5. To exit Distrobox: exit 6. If you run: distrobox list you will see all distroboxes on the system. You will also see that distrobox that we exited is still running. 7. To stop distrobox use commands: distrobox stop fedora_1_39
