Click "suspend", not "lock" and/or set to suspend after a certain amount of inactivity.

Pop doesn't really support horizontal workspaces last I checked, you needed an extension and this naturally played hell with the rest of the DE. Maybe Cosmic will fix it? IIRC this is still a Gnome thing.

Never had need for the pop shop, but I wouldn't call the ad hoc app store based on flathub being slow that big of a deal.

That's stupid. Why would I use suspend if I want to lock the screen? Anyway, suspend is broken in linux so if I suspend there a high chance that I'll have to reboot to bring it back.

It's GNOME so horizontal workspaces are there. I'm using them but shortcuts are broken.

It's an important piece of software so it is a big deal.
