An annoying thing about btop is that it only uses the snap package manager and nothing else. You can still install it yourself easily but I don’t understand why they’d stick stick with snap alone.

The first installation method it shows for Linux systems is download a statically compiled binary and it already exists on the repos of every major distro. Where the only uses snap comes from?
One minor thing I'd like to see, and I don't know if this is to do with the underlying calendaring spec, is the differentiation of physical location and online meeting.
Some events may have both and I have found the "Join" buttons on desktop notifications for Outlook/Teams to be pretty convenient.
I really prefer the new look. I don't need or want labels in my field of view all day for buttons that I learned the purposes of years ago. If there's a new icon I don't understand, I can simply hover over it for a second.
I tend to rely on keyboard shortcuts and fall back to Search Everywhere (double shift), so the first thing I do on a new install is hide the menu bar.
I find the extra bit of whitespace helps with less travel and accuracy when switching to mouse.
The new UI has been a net positive in my personal experience.
I haven't really used VSCode, so I can't really compare, but as a long time user of JetBrains IDEs I too really enjoy the new interface.
I mostly use keyboard shortcuts and when I don't know the combination, I rely on the Search Anywhere (double shift) and Run Anything (double ctrl) functionalities.
I find the new UI less distracting and the new VCS menu is a nice addition.
I also wonder how much technical debt has accumulated in the previous UI that is being addressed by a refresh.
They called me, explained the issue, and offered to either pay for shipping them my laptop or to ship me a battery with instructions on how to swap it it out myself, warranty preserved.
Maybe it's because I purchased it from their site and they had my contact details.
I was hoping this would eliminate the coil whine and random ticking I had since day one which they claimed was to be expected. Sadly, I still live with it.
The soft touch coating on the palm rest has now also started to degrade and go tacky.
I never knew it did get recalled, interesting. I guess it might be because I'm from a small country in Europe, recall programs rarely seem to reach too far outside the US and Canada unfortunately.
After working on a number of projects that tried to apply conventional commits properly, I found something like this to be more effective and sustainable.
