I think they need to work on the lower level stuff and think about the concepts. I like the theming but it means nothing if we don't have one click installs. I want to visit the website and then click open in software center so I can install it.

It would also be nice if they had permission popups and separate repos for Foss privacy respecting software and everything else.

    As for the permission popups, they have already done that through XDG Desktop Portals. You might have noticed that, for example, apps with supposedly no filesystem access can still open files you selected via the file picker or opened via the file manager. Or that apps need you to explicitly allowlist them to access your location data. Those are apps that use the portals permission system. Unfortunately not all apps use portals yet.
