    Do you use GNOME?

    Yes, I do! I personally prefer GNOME over other DEs anyways, so I’m absolutely fine with that.

    They disable GNOME extensions. Did you turn it back on?

    They disable the installation of GNOME extensions by users. But, system-wide GNOME extensions are enabled by default. So, GNOME extensions that are found in Fedora’s repositories can be installed right out of the box. Thankfully, all my extension needs are taken care of within the extensions found in Fedora’s repositories. So, this doesn’t constitute a limitation for me. Curiously, I’ve actually installed extensions through this method ever since I recognized how the other way wasn’t remotely as secure. So this (relatively recent) change by secureblue to enforce it upon everyone (at least by default) came as a pleasant surprise.

    Did you re-enable XWayland?

    Nope. I initially had troubles with playing games through Wine. But I’ve learned how to use gamescope for that instead. Currently, I’m honestly unaware of anything I’d need XWayland for. Wayland development has definitely come a long way. And while I’m sure some systems and/or workflows don’t play nice with it yet, for myself (pure) Wayland is all I need.

    Do you use bubblejail?

    Currently, I don’t think I’ve got any use for it:

    • The only layered packages are the aforementioned GNOME extensions. I’m unaware if bubblejail can be used to sandbox these. But I’ll look into it. Thanks for bringing this up!
    • My GUI apps are taken care of by Flatpak. Which, AFAIK, utilizes bubblewrap already for its sandboxing.
    • My CLI apps are taken care of by Linuxbrew. Perhaps these can be sandboxed using bubblejail, but I wouldn’t even know. Thanks for reminding me of this (potential) blindspot!
