From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not a fan of all the blank space in their design language, it doesn't look bad or anything but I don't have a touch screen and having to move the mouse around so much for long periods of time physically hurts, especially on laptops.
I wish it was more... desktop friendly... If they took more advantage of the dynamic layout capabilities of GTK4 to have a better desktop layout based on their already existing design language while still having this mobile esk layout for other devices, we'd be golden.
If they don't want to do that, they should at least increase the default mouse speed so it feels better out of the box.
