    We've been hearing of a lot of "big" performance improvements in Gnome every now and then for the past few years and so far NONE of these optimizations were noticeable to the naked eye. I bet this one will be under the same category. I hope I'll be proven wrong by April.

    Why not just take the Calamares installer and then improve/modify it to suit your needs? What's the point of having a million different installers if not a single one solves a new problem and they all have uneven features?

    a high CPU usage regression since Ubuntu 18.04 is fixed in Ubuntu 19.04 and being back-ported to Ubuntu 18.10
    Is this fix not necessary to be back-ported to 18.04, which is the LTS?

    No, similar to macOS Launchpad, which was then copied by GNOME Shell. Yes, macOS was the first desktop OS to introduce a full-screen launcher.

    The Windows 10 approach is much better. Microsoft tried an approach similar to Dash in GNOME Shell in Windows 8 and it was hated and abandoned.

    Eh thank god.

    I love GNOME but the performance is just ugh. I recently found out the tray icon extensions were one of the reasons my GNOME install was running worse than usual.
