That is one solution lmao

Hey are you still facing this issue. I also faced this twice on fedora 41 silverblue but it seems to have resolved itself after some updates

This is not a malfunctioning hardware thing. I faced the same issue for a few days on silverblue, where my 2 year old zen3 laptop would slow down to a crawl and eventually the gnome-shell would freeze. Somehow it resolved itself somewhere between kernel and gnome-shell + mutter updates

Dude UI (and anything to do with looks) is always a subjective thing. Some people will like it and some people will hate it. I know every dev wants their UI to be loved by everyone but that’s a fools errand as there are always people with opposing opinions. What matters is that that you like what you have created. Also know that there are people like me and many others who use photon daily and love the design. Don’t let subjective opinions get you down.
