The GNOME Project has officially released GNOME 48.8, a maintenance update for the old-stable GNOME 48 desktop environment series.
Among the updated modules, GNOME Control Center addresses several long-standing issues, including fixes for Wi-Fi handling when managing a single device, a small memory leak in the Color panel, improvements to timezone searching, and more consistent locale variable handling.
GNOME Maps resolves a freeze that could occur when displaying routes while moving the application window between different screens, improving stability in multi-monitor setups. GNOME Online Accounts fixes DAV discovery issues and adds better detection and configuration support for SOGo servers.
Extensions can crash your system on GNOME as they modify the shell itself, so running incompatible extensions is a real problem. The upside to this is that when you find an extension and it has your version on it, it’s guaranteed to run. Fyi you can easilly override the version requirements.
That’s the dev perspective, I have a user perspective.
sometimes the extension works and sometimes it doesn’t. And there is no appearant reason why it doesn’t work. That leads to disliking updates because it breaks my installation. Welcome to windows :/
