The new one opens faster and has a better UI, but it feels so bad to use, every resize and interaction causes elements to shift around weirdly, the scrolling feels horrible somehow, there’s a random sidebar (pictured) that is empty and that i can’t hide. Also, although, to it’s credit, the app opens fast and responds instantly to clicks, every async load (store page, game banner) is incredibly sluggish.
And on Linux it’s only available as an app-image, doesn’t support Server Side Decorations and somehow reverts my cursor the default X one, which I have never seen an app-image do.
Basically it kinda sucks, although the UX team did a good job, the UI looks nice enough and is easy to navigate, if only because there’s like no features.
Edit: apparently the sidebar is meant to be a social panel, but it broke as soon as I resized the window, lmao.
Holy balls that is an absolutely embarrassing thing to post. Who the fuck cares if it takes 0.06 seconds (yes, that is six hundredths of a second) less to maximize the application window? It’s such a meaningless improvement to such a low impact metric that it’s embarrassing to even mention it. Convinces me even more that they know it sucks so bad that they’re grasping at any positive number regardless of how practically insignificant it is.
