gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect VS mutter-rounded

I mean.... yeah! Thats exactly what you should be doing. Upgrading your OS when not all your essential software is supported is bad practice to begin with and most non-rolling Distro support previous version for a bit (Fedora 38 will be supported for 6 months after the release of 39 for example). The extension manager app has a great "upgrade assistant" that lets you easily see which of your extension was already ported. Most extensions were already ported and the rest will probably follow shortly after Gnome 45 hits major distros. GSconnect already merged a PR so their release will be soon.

https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/releases/tag/v55 does not mention security fixes. Do you have more information?

I'm using GSConnect on Ubuntu. I have first disabled "Clipboard Sync". There are a number of Actions for which keyboard shortcuts can be defined for a device [1]. One of them is Clipboard Push. I assigned Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V to that, so whenever I execute that contrived key combination, the clipboard is synced to my mobile. I suppose KDE Connect has a similar feature.

it works, but the github says the project doesn't have dedicated developers. https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/wiki

-For Gsconnect the Devs are working on it, and already have a [pull request]https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/pull/1475) but there seem to be a few bugs left.

Everything you need is under the install section

For rounded corners I've used Mutter Rounded which is basically a patched Mutter (Gnomes window manager)

Since OP doesn't answer I simply googled it and it seems like OP uses this project: https://github.com/yilozt/mutter-rounded

Good question. The dev himself has said he does use a certain patch in his build. See here.. However, I went inside the code and it appears that he first downloads the Mutter source from RPM (which does not have the performance patches, yet), builds a big "meta"-patch out of everything in the "patches" folder, and applies those changes on the downloaded mutter build. So to be safe, I downloaded 1877 and 2487 manually, and edited package.sh myself. Gnome runs significantly faster, with fewer dropped frames, especially in the overview and app menu. (1877 gave me a few quirks though so you might want to skip that.)
