>not to mention the harsh centered shadow, is an immediate turn-off. Unfortunately it’s 2022 and linux design standards are still nowhere to be found.

I honestly can't fathom how people can complain about a free software that protects your privacy and gives you full control of your purchased hardware. If some overflowing text, harsh shadow, or whatever is a show-stopper, preserving your privacy wasn't that high of a priority for you anyway.

It's a free and opensource project. Feel free to open a PR or bug report.

Naw, its more like:

  --protecting privacy - check

This isn't and never has been protection from constructive criticism. Nor should it be. Choose to ignore it, or dismiss it, sure. But belittling valid criticism is a bad look.

Complaining about UIs on forums that the people responsible for the issue will likely never see is not and never has been constructive criticism.

It's a gripe, or a whinge, which is fine and open source shouldn't be immune to it. Although I will say that open source projects in my experience tend to be much more responsive to bug reports and actual constructive criticism from people paying them $0.00 than proprietary software projects are.
