GNOME is not meant to be customized. Don't even try. If your concept of customization goes beyond adding a panel in a different spot. It's truly asking for grief. Their add-ons/plugins are fairly neat with all the different languages they can be written in etc. But with all the breaking changes that are constantly being done to the API you never know if they'll be functioning in the next week. It's part of why pop started Cosmic in the first place. The GNOME team would regularly roll breaking changes with minor point releases.

    You are saying this to someone with 5 years of routinely changing major UI elements on GNOME and who has rarely had any issues with extensions breaking. Less than once a year.

    I think the difference of experience is from how much we think the UI "needs" customizing. If I wanted GNOME to look like windows, I'd probably have had that experience. But that's absolutely the furthest thing from what I'd ever want.

    And before you claim I only use one or two extensions. Nope I've used 3-7 at all times.
