I kind of wish they can improve their software center a bit: like hold update for a specific app, or only install update once a week, once a month, etc. I know I can just ignore the update button, but I like clicking buttons...

Agreed. Software center tend to hang and or refresh the ui unnecesarilly often.

No progress on VRR, fractional scaling or HDR?

I mean, you get a slightly different side menu in Nautilus, what else could you ask for?

How dare you say the nautilus side menu is the only change. The about section of system settings is now completely different!

Rest assured that 100% of what you paid to Gnome is being invested on Fractional scaling.

Disagree that the Nautilus sidebar is an improvement, but props to GNOME for continuously attempting to refine the design.

It’s rather sidegrade. It’s subjective to say if it looks better or worse. For me it just looks different. But new progress indicator and path bar size is definitely a downgrade.
