    People in the comments seem to be confused. “Archived” as in compressed to a tarball, or “archived” as in no longer maintained?

      Second, I thought all linux users find software at github like me But when I was linux newbie, even tar archives were hard to open

    that feel when you use gnome and the extension you need is incompatible with your newer version and turns out to be no longer maintained 😢

      And then there is this Pull Request that could just be merged and released, but the maintainer didn’t even look at it and you have to install it manually from git.

        Usually because the GNOME API has changed significantly in some way. As much as I love GNOME, they change things often enough to frequently end the life of extensions.

        I’m still sad about Fildem (global menu) being killed. Although I’m not 100% sure it wasn’t just abandoned as a project tbf
