Every time the operating system is instantiated the GRUB boot-loader is
inexplicitly re-installed. This behaviour leads to unsolicited changes to the
user's boot configuration on UEFI systems; and leads to unnecessary write
operations on the ESP, and/or the MBR, which, in case they are abruptly
I would like to clarify that whenever I wrote "boot parameters", I meant
installation arguments passed to grub-install.
A regression introduced in the Linux kernel v5.9.11 and v5.4.80 prevents the
Shepherd from properly unmounting the efivars file system and shutting down the
operating system on UEFI-capable hardware.
This bug has already been reported on the kernel's bug tracker:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/sho
Further investigation shows that this regression does not affect either the
shutdown process or the reboot one on GNU/Linux distributions that adopted the
systemd init system. This may indicate that no attempt to automatically unmount
the efivars file system is ever made on those, which raises t
Applications installed by Flatpak can't be discovered by application launchers.
A fix to this is to add the directories '/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share' and
'$HOME/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share' to the search path set by the
XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable.
Thunar launched under Wayland falls back to the default adwaita icon theme when
it fails to load vectorized icons.
Steps to reproduce on Sway:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme Papirus

I can't reproduce this issue on the Linux kernel v5.9.12 and v5.4.81.
