💡 Quick handy tip
On the GNOME Extensions Manager App, you can check whether the installed extensions are compatible with newer GNOME releases.
Open the app, and from the top-right hamburger menu, select “Upgrade Assistant”.
Now, from the new window, select the required GNOME version and click on “Check Compatibility”.
It will give you an overview of your installed extensions and their compatibility with the GNOME version you selected.
If you don't know what the Extension Manager is, refer to our detailed guide on it.
