Typo:

- The Meta + . key sequence can be used to launch the emoji selector from this keyboard shorcut.

Finally working CSD in GTK. I can give KDE a try once again.

Oh excellent.

Is nice to see KsysGuard receiving some love. The Windows 10 app now have more info than the KDE one, this is not something I used to see, so is nice they are catching up.

Also, it would be nice to have a dedicated tab for file operations too and one for temperatures enabled by default.

Very nice release! all features are in place for having more complete experience... I hope they will put this into openSUSE's next point release.

The GTK app integration looks very well done. I can't wait to test it.

I think the Wayland support is still way off.

Don't care about that much... With such things, I put much trust in my distribution provider engineers which gives me peace of mind and lets me focus on my work.

HighDpi/Fractal scaling is also not really working, that's something more important, at least for me.
This is also an area which is not exported into GTK.
