It doesn't use any CPU when idle for me? It does use a bunch when switching workspaces. But after that it drops back to 0%. It should NOT use CPU constantly. There are memory leaks without any extensions, but usually it's an exten

The font rendering changes every so often (various years). Initially I get annoyed that it is different than before. Eventually I get used to it and get annoyed if it changes again. IMO it's just what you're used to.

You don't have to contribute GPL changes back. Whomever you give a binary to you'll have to give the source to if they ask. It's pretty much that simple.

The standard KDE/Qt based filemanager (forgot name) is much quicker even with showing the details. Meaning, Nautilus is just very inefficient as that other filemanager is able to show things much more quickly.

Murder isn't the same as questionable deaths?!? I don't think that has changed. I said that in not enough cases they're checking if someone has been murdered or not. As such, you cannot trust that murder has gone down. This h
