  1. Since I'm an evil evil #GNOME #UX designer sometimes, and I spent the whole week-end hearing unfounded complaints about how File Roller supposedly removed features (it didn't), I'm taking the opportunity to suggest actually removing two buttons from File Roller's toolbar… by using a breadcrumbs pathbar like Nautilus :blobcatcoffee:

  2. Ubuntu Considers Removing ‘Archive Manager’ from Default Install

    Should Ubuntu drop the Archive Manager app from the default install? That’s the suggestion put forward for community discussion by a prominent Ubuntu developer. The reasoning is that since Nautilus lets us create/extract commonly-compressed formats (including the ubiquitous .zip and tarballs) shipping a separate app that does the same thing (albeit with more formats) is unnecessary. There’s precedent for such a move: GNOME 41 dropped the the Archive Manager app (often referred to by the package name file-roller) from GNOME Core. Their reasoning was similar: Nautilus now does it, so why duplicate functionality in the standard seed? Users with advanced :sys_more_orange:
