Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.
Problem solved ✅
Saw it and couldn't help laughing.
OTOH being so customizable seems to be a double-edged sword: people can customize almost everything they want but some can find that overwhelming or don't even want to spend time looking for a setting.
Well that's embarrassing for them
It seems useful to me. When you've installed a new application you can immediately see which category it was put in. That said, glad it can be turned off for those who don't like it.
I like this feature because sometimes apps have weird names and I can't remember what they're called a day or two later.
OMG, the green dot last days?! I've just disabled the option. Not my cup of tea, I do remember app names. And I always use Krunner or search inside the App launcher. In all honesty, sometimes it does take some effort... but there are advantages, I can recommend software to people without resorting to a net searx or chatbot convo.
open application launcher.. upper right corner open settings... turn off the feature 🙄
