@gsymon There is a bit of terminal wizardy that I found that brings it back

sudo mkdir -p /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/SpotlightUI.plist SpotlightPlus -dict Enabled -bool false

Then when click on the apps app it brings it up like LaunchPad.

I am ok with the newer way i just want to get rid of the iPhone apps in the list too

Ok. I made something new: I tried to live play clips in #Bitwig with my #Novation #Launchpad X and my old but working evolution U-Control UC-16.
It's more trance/acid stuff or whatever you wanna call it. Have fun. (Mistakes are wanted and won't be removed 😂 )

@Natanox i kept miss-identifying the "proper" components on bug-/issue-/feature trackers (#github / #bugzilla / #Canonical #Ubuntu #launchpad), so i've switched to hash-tagging my fave projects on #SocialMedia, instead.

Instead of getting "my issue" rejected or closed as "irrelevant", because i failed to ID&target the correct COMPONENT, i just toot about it on the #Fediverse, let #Karma sort it out! 😅

I consider this a win-win "shituation"! 🤣

@gsymon
It is still named "#Launchpad" but it triggers the #Spotlight "Applications" view under #macOS #Tahoe.

You are right as well for the tiling options in #Sequoia: they must have been added in a point release, because I actually never paid attention to them (would have been much easier than full-path menu titles in "App Shortcuts"…)

For the Globe key, only the latest version of the wireless extended keyboard has it in the lower left corner (as in all other #mac keyboards).

Bring back #Launchpad to #macOS #Tahoe… like we used to do in the 2000’s!

(Simply drop the "Applications" folder to the Dock).

Good to see there are more Launchpad users.

I still don't get why Apple wants to throw it out though.

It's useful to people. It gives people choice. Code maintenance costs are negligible for a 1 trillion $ company. It's neither a performance hog nor security risk. Users who dislike it can just ignore it - it's not even mapped to a hotkey anymore. Other than "ideological UX purity" there are few(no?) reasons to abandon it.

R.I.P. Bazaar on Launchpad
After years of pretending Git didn’t exist, Canonical finally said, “Yeah, this isn’t worth it.” So bzr is packing its bags by Sept 2025.
Time to migrate... unless you enjoy living dangerously on deprecated tech! 😅

Woah, #launchpad is not going to support #bazaar anymore. Reminds me of when #bitbucket stopped supporting #mercurial. It didn't kill mercurial, but it sure didn't help. 🙃

Sad to see #Launchpad is dropping #Bazaar (#bzr) support - probably the last thing that set it apart from other code hosting solutions like GitHub.

discourse.ubuntu.com/t/phasing

At this point, it should just remove the support for hosting upstream projects altogether considering all #Canonical projects are actually on GitHub, and Launchpad is just the Ubuntu build system / bug tracker.

This is further exemplified by the fact that they announced this only on an #Ubuntu community forum.

Say “goodbye” to Launchpad Bazaar

Bazaar and Git are both version controlling systems for source code and for projects. However, Git became more popular than Canonical’s Bazaar, and Launchpad was hosting the free Bazaar code hosting platform, just like how GitHub, GitLab, and their likes host code using Git, for open-source projects. The back-end in the Launchpad’s code hosting functionality is Bazaar, and the front-end is web-based.

Bazaar was at its peak a decade ago, but Git has dethroned it to become more popular across software projects. As a result, Launchpad is in the process of shutting down the Bazaar code hosting service, as projects like Breezy attempted to relive Bazaar. This has been officially announced as per this Ubuntu Discourse forum post.

The service is not going to shut down immediately due to the time that migrations to Git from Bazaar will take. As a result, they have implemented the blackout in two phases:

  • Phase 1 – Brownout: Loggerhead, which is the front end web interface for the Bazaar code hosting service on Launchpad, will be shut down very soon at an undisclosed date. Part of the reason is that because, according to them, the Loggerhead traffic logs showed “that there are hardly any more requests from legit users, but almost the entire traffic comes from scrapers and other abusers.” However, the ability to push, pull, and merge changes will not be affected at this stage.
  • Phase 2 – Blackout: The Bazaar code hosting service will be shut down fully on September 1st, 2025, so you’ll have to migrate your Bazaar projects to Git hosting services, such as GitHub, GitLab, and others before this date, since the full blackout means that you will never be able to recover your projects.

You’ll have to follow the instructions in this blog article here.

As for the documentation, you’ll have to manually import them from Launchpad to projects like DocFX (for .NET projects, our recommendation for API references), GitBook (our recommendation for general docs), or Read the Docs (suitable replacement).

Please migrate your Bazaar projects before September 1st, 2025!

Launchpad Bazaar is going soon. Migrate your projects quickly to GitLab (or similar) before September 1st, 2025!

Canonical is ‘Sunsetting’ Bazaar on Launchpad

To old-timers like me Launchpad, the Canonical-run development hub, is synonymous with Bazaar (bzr), the open-source distribution version control system (VCS) Canonical helped develop. Like GitHub, Launchpad lets anyone sign up and create a repo, then connect from the command-line to push code to it, handle merges, branch, fork, etc. Using ‘recipes’, code in bzr repos can be turned into DEBs, PPAs and Snaps. But the future of Bzr is at crossroads. Canonical plans to ‘sunset’ Bazaar from Launchpad this year: It’s not 100% clear if Canonical will stop relying on Bazaar internally for Ubuntu’s development (given how interconnected the :sys_more_orange:
