+Linux Users Beware! GNOME 45 is Bad News for Extensions
+======
+GNOME 45 is an impressive upgrade. But this development on extensions
+does not sound great!
+With every GNOME upgrade, some extensions break; that's not new. But, with GNOME 45, every extension will break 😱
+
+And why is that? Let me tell you more about it.
+
+### GNOME 45 Extension Changes
+
+With every upgrade, there is always a technical improvement or change.
+
+And, [GNOME 45][1] comes with pretty exciting changes, except this one.
+
+![][2]
+
+**GNOME Shell's JavaScript has had a change**. If you are curious, the JavaScript part (and the modules) is responsible for the extension's user interface, including the panel, menus, dialogs, etc.
+
+The technical change is that GNOME Shell and Extensions use ESModules instead of GJS' custom import system.
+
+While this modification was intended to encourage developers to use a more standardized approach for GNOME Shell and Extensions codebase, it might have added a big hassle.
+
+**Why?**
+
+This is because the legacy system and the new modules approach are incompatible.
+
+Here's what **Florian Müllner** had to [mention][3] for the technical bits:
+
+> Modules are loaded differently than scripts, and some statements — namely `import` and `export` — are only valid in modules. That means that trying to import a module with the legacy system will result in a syntax error if the module uses one of those statements (about as likely as a pope being Catholic).
+
+And the hassle? **All GNOME extensions break.**
+
+  * All the extensions targeted for older GNOME versions will no longer work on GNOME 45 (unless ported).
+  * New extensions tailored for GNOME 45 will not work on older versions.
+
+
+
+The good thing is that a GNOME extension developer can support multiple versions of GNOME. But they will have more work to do and re-upload versions for pre and post-GNOME 45.
+
+So, even if a developer chooses to do that and utilizes the [porting guide][4] to migrate to the new system, it will take extra time for them while the end-users (us) encounter broken extensions when using GNOME 45.
+
+**Not a pretty user experience. Is it?** 😒
+
+GNOME upgrades were not perfect for extension compatibility; now, **it is worse**.
+
+While I do not rely much on any available [GNOME extensions][5], many users do. And, for them, an upgrade that breaks the experience is not good news.
