There’s only one Arch Gnome maintainer ( Jan Alexander Steffens ) and it always takes about 2-4 weeks after the initial release depending on their schedule and free time to update to the latest Gnome stack. In some cases, they’ll even wait till the first point release before pushing out any update. If you really want Gnome 43 so badly use Fedora 37 Beta or Ubuntu 22.10 daily builds or there’s the unofficial Gnome unstable for Arch maintained by Fabian Bornschein: https://gitlab.com/fabiscafe/gnome-unstable but my guy take it easy, be patient, eat some broccoli and chill

There is a lot of chatter on the dev channel about the built-in screen capture getting annotation, then I would not need the feature rich flameshot that exceeds my needs.

I can get that. Had similar thoughts, to be honest, although Gnome and Knome are far away from becoming my daily driver, and they both just don’t get any closer to becoming that, lately.
I run Fedora Rawhide, just bc it (Fedora) runs well on my ole Apple puters. First tried Rawhide for a while in a VM, then on baremetal, just to stay “informed”, running with Gnome43, KDE 5.26, and Kernel 6-rc6, currently. While it is fun to experiment with these things on my systems, I seek to run Xfce in general, as daily driver.
Tried it briefly and it has an old style interface. It’s ok if you like that or its not hard to put some makeup on the old girl.
This is interesting on the rubberbandy thing they have going in Files, or the pill shaped buttons 
hardly breakthrough. Web (Epiphany) is slowly but surely getting there. WebKit is interesting, as my browser identifies as Safari.
This post https://www.debugpoint.com/gnome-43/ makes no mention of the screenshot annotation feature. Maybe someone can confirm that it’s in 43 (hotkey) PrtScr.
In any case I am waiting on the (single) Arch maintainer, as long as it takes.

I don’t think screen capture annotation made it into 43. I know there was a lot discussion on it.
PWA is an interesting feature to see how well it is adopted. Web (Epiphany) has a first with add site as an app.
It means there’s a good chance of extensions having been upgraded too, so is probably worth the wait.

Some (not all) of the most downloaded ones are there at 43, already, but quite a few are still missing.

dash-to-panel working ok, dash-to-dock still has it’s “hangers”… at least on Fedora.
Bitwarden works, so I am happy to use it.
Taken with Gnome43’s screenshot-button, upper right corner, camera-symbol. No annotations possible yet.

Oh, so you are a Conky guy 
Lots of info. I always wondered what those empty desktops are used for. Maybe I will give it a try.
Another one…
Flameshot doesn’t work at all yet, on Gnome43, as there is no way to display the tray-icon yet, when it is running in the background. But hey, these Gnomes gotta be useful for something!
Let me get back to you, Mike, I’ll reboot into my other system and send you my conky.conf from there.
Thanks for the heads up. Isuspected there is a problem with system tray. What about AppIndicator?
Something new to to try 
simple to get latest GNOME for a long time already:

To tell you this exactly, I’d have to get my other machine… currently it’s getting kinda late, here. So maybe some other time if you’d be kind enough to remind me.
Sure thing. Rest well.
