They already arent making panels now. They are just breaking the illusion. If anything this is honesty.

Honestly sounds like nothing is really changing except branding and maybe where panels are sourced from.

Keep making note of it and keep forgetting til I have everything setup just right again. Thanks!

Bazzite has actually lasted the longest so far for me. Gonna leave the other desktop alone though, wife is the main user on it so im not forcing her on it.

Luckily i keep not running into the issues, Its mostly the unwanted windows features that seem to irritate me (f off onedrive and copilot) I keep trying to swap but I found what im good at finally and it is bricking linux installs.
