Going back to low resolution 1080p 100dpi, it actually looks decent there, notice the spacing actually looks sane and there aren't huge areas of wasted space like at 4K.
So it looks like they only really considered 1080p 100dpi and just blissfully ignored all other use cases. ** Attachment added: "Gnome 40 - 1080p - landscape" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1919377/+attachment/5477351/+files/Gnome%2040%20-%201080p%20-%20landscape.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1919377 Title: gnome-shell 3.38+ HUD app grid is limited to only 4x6 Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: For some reason after Ubuntu 20.04 (Gnome 3.36) the app grid was limited to a maximum of 4x6. This might be acceptable on an iPhone, which is where they actually got the limit from, but it is not at all acceptable for an actual large computer screen. It looks farcical. Even the spacing prior to Ubuntu 20.10 (Gnome 3.38) was much too wide, but this is MUCH MUCH WORSE. It looks like previously it was limited to only ~ 6x12 which was still pretty bad. See the attached screenshot of what this looks like on Gnome 3.36 vs 3.38. Also notice there is more than one page of apps on 3.38 and that it only shows 4x6 at maximum. 🤦 As you will notice this is a 4K screen at 100 dpi, its not a small screen, but is being treated like its a phone.
