How do you guys make good use of the app grid? I feel like I use it way less than I originally thought.
NOTE: If you're using a Wayland session, the Ctrl + Space shortcut (which brings up the launcher) will be unreliable due to other windows eating the keyboard events instead (see the official Ulauncher wiki). The workaround solution is very simple and also works on X11, so we'll replace Ulauncher's default binding with the workaround technique everywhere, so that it works universally on both X11 and Wayland.

Trying to set up Cerebro on Fedora
In my quest to make my GNOME look and feel like a Mac (I'm sorry, i love the look), I've been trying to set up Cerebro app I use the prebuilt AppImage executable, but it won't work. At first, I was having an error about libva drivers, which I managed to solve, so I can at least run the AppIMage initially, but all it does is open Cerebro to my top bar and the options menu. Whenever I click on "toggle cerebro" (as shown in the screenshot below) i get the following error:
