So if I want various things in fedora 42, but I have to refrain because my favorite extension hasn’t been ported from fedora 41. I didn’t use gnome largely because I got tired of keeping up with the extension mess.
Not all of us are trying to micromanage every little piece of software independentlly.
Or I just pick a solution that lets me customize as I like and supports it in a way I can feel confident about taking updates without worry. So Plasma desktop it is
Gnome is not gods gift to desktop users that I feel I must accommodate, it’s a competent implementation that is just too set in their ways .
Shouldn’t that only apply if the other software depends on the new functionality in the updated gnome?

Pinning the version of one package doesn’t constitute “micromanage every little piece of software independentlly”.
No need to get hyperbolic.
If you’re not willing to take even a small action to customize your system, then you should just take what you get and don’t throw a fit.

👍 I agree with that and personally use Plasma currently, though have mained gnome in the past.
