yeah I know, it’s still missing kinda basic stuff like moderator tools (or if they’re there I can’t find them, which is another problem) and I find the overall UI less intuitive than the web app. I know it’s in the early stages and I’m not trying to shit on the app or devs in any way. just doesn’t seem like the best way to use the platform at the moment.
I just did a full wipe of my system to try out Fedora KDE, XFCE & Budgie spins (I finally got fed up with Gnome not being what I wanted anymore after like 15 years of using it as my preferred DE) and didn’t really have the same experience at all - even Fedora XFCE which you say was completely broken was working fine for me. I haven’t run anything other than Fedora in a long time though so I can’t really speak to the out of the box experience on other distros.
