The whole concept is different. I’ve just started trying it and the gist of it is that it’s basically only the app drawer, but on steroids. There is no home screen to arrange, you simply set favorite apps that show up first. Anything else you select by scrolling through the alphabet, which seems quick enough if you know the app name you’re looking for.

I can already tell that I would love it more if favorites were redesigned a bit to use the initial space better. But this would betray the simplicity they are trying to achieve.

Doesn’t look like it.

It just means they’ve survived the first part of the bathtub curve. To me that’s a bonus.

That PC is on Ubuntu LTS so it didn’t come to mind. The app I’ve been using is called Unified Remote and was generally pretty neat, not so much about tying my phone to the PC.

I use an app to control the mouse and keyboard of my home theater PC from my smartphone. Will that ever be able to work?

Republicans when they get control again: You know what sounds like a great idea? Expanding the supreme court!
