From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Didn’t know that’s possible. How?

I've never actually done it, because the only extension I use is Blur My Shell, and the dev is so quick at updating that extension that even when I immediately update to a beta release it's already marked as compatible, but here it is:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation true

And if you want to revert back to normal and have extensions be validated again:

gsettings reset org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation

I don't know if there's a GUI way to do it in one of the extension management platforms, I've never really looked
