Feature Request: Material Shell Extension in Gnome Edition

[Dibakar]

Good day devs,

So I was not sure where to ask for feature requests so I posted here! Sorry if this is not the intended procedure!

Basically I would like if you guys could integrate the Material Shell extension into Garuda Gnome edition.

I tired installing "material shell" through the command line.. it installed okay, but there are a few bugs present!

Now from what I understand Manjaro uses the Material Shell extension on their gnome edition.. I tired it in a virtual machine and none of the bugs are present (UI issues mostly)..

I find the Material Shell really cool.. And it would be great if you could get it to work with Garuda's default configuration..

I am not much of a techie.. And there aren't many tutorials online to follow on this matter.. or else I would have done it myself. From what I presume there might be some conflict between the default configuration and what Material Shell is trying to achieve which is bringing some UI glitches..

Thanks..

I’m not a Gnome user, but I guess this could go against a recent decision that I do remember:

GNOME extensions removed due to being broken by release 40 (yet again)

Hey GNOME users! There is sadly no way we can postpone this much longer, GNOME extensions are broken yet again by the new release so they had to be removed. For the people who dont know whats going on, its not the first time that this happened… last year it was quite the same: The new release, GNOME 40 was said to enhance extension support but hey, almost everything broken again But why do they break you might ask yourself? I think this discussion explains it better than I could…

Thats exactly the post I just wanted to link
Manjaro does something different than Arch - they hold back package versions to ensure compatibility. As we always use latest available versions things tend to break at major software releases - a bad situation for users and maintainers. Thats why we wont provide any extensions apart from the GNOME default ones anymore - you are free to install them yourself however, a few clicks and its done

As a Gnome user myself that was the correct decision to make as it hurts the distribution and Gnome using 3rd party Extensions more so when designed for a Ubuntu spin.

That being said i use Gnome extentions with very few problems.
