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.

I edited my comment with an example for your code and my best advice for figuring out the path of gnome shell imports is by browsing
/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/, the docs are not very helpful.Aha I see. Except I'm not sure if the path
/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/is correct? The folder/filejsdoes not exist on my end.Just to clarify. The
gi://resources are GObject Introspection modules which are used for multilanguage bindings to native libraries. On my system, GI modules are found in/usr/share/gir-1.0/. They're just imported by name and sometimes version usinggi://(there are examples in the link in my first comment).As I don't have Gnome installed I can't be sure of the path to gnome shell modules imported using
resource://, but it's probably the path I wrote, but withoutjs/.It is very likely the wrong path, I just extrapolated the path from the gnome-shell git repo. I don't use Gnome myself, I'm on the enemy team using LXDE on Devuan ;)
