Added an overview effect. And what is great? It is not added as an extension.

Off-brand Gnome from the Discounter Shop. Comes with hard dependency on hostile company.

That and other 1000 options we don't use that get in the way everytime we use the computer

The headline is about an effect, but there are a lot of improvements.

Ha! No Wayland header this time and there are only some subtle fixes to the Wayland session this week.

I really like the new overview effect. I really missed something like that. And it's integrated with Krunner which is like the most powerful search for desktop that I ever used.

Better to have the option and not use it than to not have the option at all

Actually there are some good and liked parts of GNOME shell and the overview is IMHO definitely one of them (while simultaneously triggering it with a hot corner and no other way to switch window with a mouse than opening overview are terrible ideas)
