I’ve just upgraded to Fedora Workstation 42 and am now unable to activate any GNOME extensions. The little switches in the GUI do not respond and it’s the same for all extensions. The Extensions and Extensions Manager apps are both installed as flatpaks - do I need to adjust their permissions in Flatseal? Is the problem due to something else? Thanks!

Edit/solution: I totally missed the ‘Use Extensions’ switch at the very top. All my extensions are working on the current GNOME version (48) now. I am the most silly. Hopefully the other solutions in the comments will be useful to someone else in future :)

    I get you, like “been there, done that”

    Nowadays I have like 10 if not 15 extensions (most of which are not essential to my workflow) and they make the already wonderful Gnome base just better for me personally

    this is why I usually wait with recent distribution upgrades, another upside is: it saves me a bunch of headaches too since – by the time I do upgrade – all the little bugs have usually been fixed

      Yeah I should clearly wait more before upgrading. I kind of know it’s, but I keep repeating the same mistake😅

      Still, at one point, I might try to reproduce what I love about Gnome (1 window per workspace and the ability to switch between them) in KDE.
