‘Nother former Asashi Linux user here (now using a Fedora VM on my M4 MBA until Asahi is natively supported 🤞); just here to say we are all for it! From the moment I first tested it on my M1 MBA, I knew this was the way for the future, and I am glad to see wider adoption of Linux on ARM device devices beyond Apple Silicon.
Thank you, though I would have to politely disagree with your statement.
macOS 26’s “Apps” menu, at least as of Tahoe Beta 4, still lacks much of the functionality of classic Launchpad, and there are still plenty of users who prefer the original. I’m new HERE on Lemmy, but back on Reddit, there was a “I miss Launchpad” post practically every day, and adding the folder to the Dock isn’t quite the same. Sure, more powerful methods like Spotlight and Raycast or Alfred exist, but for people who just want a full screen app grid, Launchpad offered that. Now, LaunchBack’s bringing it back. 🙂
