GNOME customisations turned off by default after update to Wayland

Hello, this is essentially an FYI to any developer or user who wants to know about this minor bug I encountered.

Today my Zorin updated to Wayland by default. I did not notice until I logged out and saw that I could choose "Zorin Desktop" or "Zorin Desktop on X.org" instead of "Zorin Desktop" and "Zorin Desktop on Wayland" as it was before. All is well on Wayland (except my Steam overlay not displaying), but when I logged in the first time after the update, all GNOME extensions were disabled, so I booted into vanilla GNOME. Opening the extensions app and turning them back on again solved the issue. Hopefully if someone else has this issue and can't work out how to solve it, this post can help.

I still don't understand why these options are not "Enter with X.org" and "Enter with Wayland".

"Zorin Desktop" is redundant, since I'm going to get into Zorin Desktop anyway.

For a novice user this is confusing. It gives the impression that you are entering another system.

Thatall Extensions are disabled is a new Thing for me. Even the Zorin Extensions are off? I switched in the Past between Wayland and Xorg, too. But the Extensions didn't turned off. The only thing I had to do was adjust the Resolution.
