The GNOME Project has officially released GNOME 48.8, a maintenance update for the old-stable GNOME 48 desktop environment series.

Among the updated modules, GNOME Control Center addresses several long-standing issues, including fixes for Wi-Fi handling when managing a single device, a small memory leak in the Color panel, improvements to timezone searching, and more consistent locale variable handling.

GNOME Maps resolves a freeze that could occur when displaying routes while moving the application window between different screens, improving stability in multi-monitor setups. GNOME Online Accounts fixes DAV discovery issues and adds better detection and configuration support for SOGo servers.

If you need more than a handful of the major plugins (which won't break), you're likely better off with a different DE.
Also, if you install plugins and Gnome from different sources (like Gnome from your distro and plugins directly from the Gnome project's website), then YOU take on the job of making sure they're compatible.
With KDE and additional user-made Plasma widgets you have the same issue.
