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.

PCSX2 Disables Wayland Support

>remapping keys
>Use xinput to change parameters of their input devices (libinput dropped most configuration options present with evdev)
Up to the compositor.
>Global shortcuts
Also up to the compositor. Was added to xdp in https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/data... so it's up to the compositor's xdp impl to provide it. It was created by a KDE dev so I assume KDE implements it at least.

Gnome developer proposes removing the X11 session
> - O proper screen recording support
Works just fine. I use OBS.
> - broken screen sharing
Never had any trouble with it.
> - No proper global keyboard shortcut
> - No push to talk support
On its way: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/711 / https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/#gdbus-org.free...
> - Several problems with multiple screens
Haven't had any more than on X11, but then again I do use Nvidia hardware on Linux.

The Guy Preserving the New History of PC Games, One Linux Port at a Time
It might help, but at this point Linux containers can't really stabilize the whole environment, especially for games. Particular pain points include accelerated graphics (which theoretically can have a stable kernel interface, but in practice is so complex and performance-sensitive that it's not stable enough to be a "reference platform", so to speak) and modern game controllers (which present a whole mess of concerns typically "addressed" in Flatpak by granting the device=all permission and hoping for the best [1]).
I also know a guy who ran into issues with a kernel update breaking a custom allocator, although I don't know the fine details. That wasn't for a game, but games also use custom allocators for various reasons.

I don't use Wayland, but it seems xdg-desktop-portal since 1.16.0 has a 'Global Shortcuts portal'. Perhaps check it out.
