What are some apps that are very very slow for no reason? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

There are UI guidelines to make apps show something however useless it might be. https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/loading

I guess most developers go for a logo rather than a spinner. Maybe they worry that folk will forget what app they tapped on?

which linux distro do you NOT like, and why? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I can find faults in any of them, but mostly hate working with Redhat/CentOS/Fedora. Strongly prefer Debian over Ubuntu, and I strongly prefer Gentoo over Arch. SUSE is an unknown, not sure about that one.

I have a fondness for BSD, if that matters.
