    I was looking at everything and thought that it'd be nice if they'd standardize their Headerbar a little better. The Menu Button moves around from next to the Close Button to over their App Functions Side Panel in its Secondary Header. The Secondary Header is also used to place the Search Bar and other Buttons when applicable. Because not every program has a Side Panel with a Secondary Header, sometimes the Search Bar is centered in the Primary Header and other icons get added next to the Menu which is next to Close. Why not just designate in the HIG that everything should include the Secondary Header so things like the Search Bar and various Button locations don't seem so random. All programs would also have a Centered Titled Name if they all used a Secondary Header by default.

      I just found Spectacle already reads QR codes and instantly. KDE is spoiling us too much.

      And ... Windows snipping tool has no idea the clipped image is a QR code. Multi billion dollar company and its product ... pfft.

        Love Gnome, but why the heck did they add a break reminder. That seems completely useless to most people and already has extensions built to do that. Meanwhile most people have to install dash to panel/dock and Gnome refuses to add that.

        This is why I'm going full Cosmic DE.

          Because Hours-of-Service regulations have been a wake-up call for digital work spaces. Corporate managed break reminders is expected in some professions these days. it's there to protect both employers and the employees.

          Random extensions are not managed at all.
