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.

You can disable that popup and have it start in your Library in the settings window to avoid that btw.

    Which setting is it?

    I don't see one that is an obvious match but I'm probably looking for the wrong words.

    It is settings then interface and there is a toggle for "Notify me about blah blah" - turn that off
