I still see the openweather extension in the repos for f35:
$ dnf -q list gnome-shell-extension-openweather | cat Available Packages gnome-shell-extension-openweather.noarch 1-0.49.20210509gitd714eb1.fc35 updates
Is it not available or not installable for you?
Oh, it's there, I just thought we didn't do that anymore and they were all in extensions.gnome.org. That's confusing. Anyway, thanks! I installed it.
I don't know if there's a strong preference for one or the other which is shared by most folks.
I don't like installing code directly from the web into my home directory. I'd much rather do that via an rpm. Others feel differently. :)
In the case of the openweather extension, the rpm install works on Gnome 41 because it has a patch to declare support for 41 which has not been picked up and released to the extensions site yet¹.
Hopefully that will get sorted eventually and then extension will be installable via either method.
