From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you still need help:

Open a TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F3 for example, works from F1 to F6 but depending on Wayland or Xorg F1, F2 and/or F6 may be used so F3 should be good, otherwise try another one).
The TTY will ask for your username and password, so login with your normal user (not root).
You shoud get to an interactive shell, so you can go to the Gnome extensions directory (cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/).
You can now remove the problematic extension (rm -r …).
Now either you reboot your computer (the reboot command will be enough to restart the computer), this will ensure you don't keep a remaining session and you'll boot in your login manager (GDM I guess).

Hope it helps!
