Well i don't hate GNOME but i do understand the people that complain about way to less customization compared to other DE's. For me i use my laptop only for Games, Internet, Email and some small apps. I don't customize alot because i don't want to break things and i don't really need it.

On the otherhand i do like the looks of Cinnamon, used to have it with Mint 17.x. I did customize back then to see what linux was capable of compared to windows 10 back then. I was really amazed of the things Linux could do.

My older desktop back in 2016, i changed the panel back then :).

Because my games didn't run well (guess because i forgot the proton/runners ?) i swapped back to Windows 10. But this year i completely switched to Linux and never turn back to Microsoft's BS OS

I tried the last Pop! Os build and even if it's a great distro I hated the fact that I can't search while in overview. Just... Why??? To me this is primary productivity feature! I feel like the new app library is totally useless.

What do you mean ? the search bar is in top when you are in "library home" tab and you can do search

Last time I tried Pop!_OS I couldn't search while in overview. In Zorin I usually hit super key, enter overview and whenever I hit a letter on the keyboard it starts searching for apps and files. I didn't find this behaviour in Pop_os. Maybe they reintroduced it? I hope so!

Maybe you ran into a bug or something because always worked for me (started to use Pop! OS 21.04 back in september)

From the screenshots you provided I see you are using the new app library. With "overview" I mean the gnome overview from which you can see every app opened on every screen. From there, in Pop_os you can't do search.

Nope this is the app overview, I mean the worskspace overview! My bad :sweat_smile: you can't type-search in worskspace overview. At least on the build I tried!

Workspace overview is only the opened tabs, why do you need search on that ?

Just because that's how I'm used to search for apps and things I need in Zorin. I love having the worskspace overview and search function integrated because I always have lot of apps running so I freequently use the worskspace overview. From there, I just start typing what I need and the search function does its job. And to me that's awesome :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: in Pop_os I can't do that unfortunately unless I disable the cosmic extension.

I wonder when ZorinOS will have an upgrade module what POP!_os has for upgrading without losing your data, apps and config.

This is often asked about.
