Terrible performance for me too. Firefox, 3600X and 6800XT. Especially as the header morphs when you scroll down. I don't mind the icons and general aethetic direction, but seriously undermined by the very noticeable, janky performance

I installed it a few months ago, I thought it was pretty good! I couldn't find a prebuilt package mirror in or near Australia though so it was painfully slow to install updates, and I didn't stick with it.

This is a bit tangential but I've noticed lots of comments aping the style of Matt Walsh. Not just on HN either, but probably more here than other places I visit. Anyway, I guess this would be useful cluster the "Matt Walsh"-

Lol, this reminded me of those engravings we put on spacecraft. Like, if we had to communicate the algorithm to an alien civilization then sure, this might be the best way to do it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer

I'm always curious with the examples in these announcements, how close is the training data to the sample prompts? And how much of the prompt is important or ends up ignored in the result? The prompt for the figure running through glow
