Earlier I red a discussion of whether moving to Ubuntu 25.04 from the LTS 
24.04 was a good idea. An argument against was shell extensions have a way 
of not working in the off year releases. 

I'm running 24.10 and may go to 25.04 since it is available again. It was 
blocked for a while because of problems with some systems. No big thing 
for me. LookingGlass only shows 4 extensions that must be default 
installs. I'm positive I didn't install the tiling extension since I hate 
tiling.
