Currently I am using #Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS and would like to fresh install 26.04 LTS next month. But unfortunately, some of the #GNOME extensions are not yet compatible with the latest GNOME version 50. Hopefully, before the release of the stable #Ubuntu 26.04 LTS version, all the extensions will get updated.

Indeed, so far, only few extensions are updated to #Gnome 50. From my installed extensions, the following don't yet have a #Gnome50 version:
- CHC-E (Custom Hot Corners - Extended)
- Clipboard Indicator
- OpenWeather Refined
- PiP on top
- gTile
- Pomodoro
- Printers
- Reminder Alarm Clock
- TilingShell
