2020-06-05 06:55:54 Daniel van Vugt summary ubuntu-desktop should not hard depend on gnome-shell-extension-* Ubuntu's gnome-shell extensions can't be uninstalled (safely)
2020-06-05 06:56:02 Daniel van Vugt description I like the Ubuntu themed GNOME desktop but I don't like dash-to-dock. As the preinstalled extensions, especially gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock are not deactivable and not removable atomic (they are hard dependcies of gnome-desktop), the only way to remove them is to rename the extensions folder. This will also restore the dock with every update of the gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package, as it creates this folder. Therfore, we should remove the hard dependcies.

I like the Ubuntu themed GNOME desktop but I don't like dash-to-dock. As the pre-installed extensions, especially gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock are not atomically removable (they are hard dependencies of ubuntu-desktop), the only way to remove them is to rename the extensions folder. This will also restore the dock with every update of the gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package, as it creates this folder. Therefore, we should remove the hard dependencies.
