So extensions will work with them and not odd numbered releases. openSUSE is expected to use 3.10 as mentioned above.<br />BUT<br />You can always do this.Download the extesnions. Put it in appropriate folder. open the following file(~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions//metadata.json) and *tweak* the shell version from 3.8 to 3.9.1 or something and you can expect the extension to work provided the GNOME shell way of handling things doesn't change.vazhavandannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467568475380394249.post-34915755464871254122013-08-15T21:49:54.280+05:302013-08-15T21:49:54.280+05:30did you find any bugs on gnome-shell 3.9.1 ?... cu...did you find any bugs on gnome-shell 3.9.1 ?... cuz sometimes the gnome-shell extensions doesn't work on this version :(Tri Hakni Putranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467568475380394249.post-66836318640604251372013-08-14T16:12:58.448+05:302013-08-14T16:12:58.448+05:30you are welcome.you are welcome.vazhavandannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467568475380394249.post-61069909660625277552013-08-14T16:11:45.689+05:302013-08-14T16:11:45.689+05:30openSUSE provides you the choice install KDE,GNOME...openSUSE provides you the choice install KDE,GNOME,E17,LXDE amd XFCE from DVD.

It is still GNOME 3.X under the surface. <br />The interface makes you *feel* like you are working with GNOME 2.X. <br />For example take a look at screenshot(click to enlarge image) with "main menu" you can see the "Activities Menu" which will take you to Shell Activities.<br />If you want to get true support for compiz you may need to replace mutter but mutter provides the "gnome-shell" . Take a look at this fine article for more details http://lwn.net/Articles/344734/ .<br />Also you can get compiz like effects using mutter/shell like here<br />https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/97/coverflow-alt-tab/vazhavandannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467568475380394249.post-9781710266551798902013-08-14T09:29:20.110+05:302013-08-14T09:29:20.110+05:30Great review.You say Gnome 2 is an optional deskto...Great review.You say Gnome 2 is an optional desktop.Does that mean you'll be able to run Compiz?Stevenoreply@blogger.com
