How to Install and Use the "Burn My Windows" GNOME Extension on Ubuntu

The Linux system has always been a suitable platform for tinkering, mainly because it is open source and offers many customizable options.

When bored you can treat it as a toy; when needed, it is a reliable professional operating system.

Linux offers many fun things, personalized configurations, distinctive themes, and various desktop experiences.

Today, I found an interesting GNOME extension on Ubuntu's GNOME desktop that burns the window when you close it.

Let's see the effect.

This extension has no practical use; it's purely an entertainment effect, but very fun.

This is a GNOME extension; installing it is simple—open a browser and go to the GNOME extensions website.

https://extensions.gnome.org

Enter "Burn My Windows" in the search box to find the extension.

Click the extension to open its detail page.

Just click "Install"; an installation dialog appears, and you can proceed.

After installation, the effect is active; closing windows will show the burning effect.

This window effect has no real use but is great for showing off.

If you're interested and using GNOME, consider installing this extension to add some fun to your Linux system.
