The new one opens faster and has a better UI, but it feels so bad to use, every resize and interaction causes elements to shift around weirdly, the scrolling feels horrible somehow, there’s a random sidebar (pictured) that is empty and that i can’t hide. Also, although, to it’s credit, the app opens fast and responds instantly to clicks, every async load (store page, game banner) is incredibly sluggish.
And on Linux it’s only available as an app-image, doesn’t support Server Side Decorations and somehow reverts my cursor the default X one, which I have never seen an app-image do.
Basically it kinda sucks, although the UX team did a good job, the UI looks nice enough and is easy to navigate, if only because there’s like no features.
Edit: apparently the sidebar is meant to be a social panel, but it broke as soon as I resized the window, lmao.
My favorite relevant pic. IIRC, this variant was made around the time Roblox was getting heat for protecting pedophiles.
I like the little GOG in the corner. Not really competing with Steam so much, but not actively destroying itself either (although I’d like to see an official Linux client).
Well, the mass email with Nazi symbols didn’t help them
