I am a Manning subscriber and the live book experience is reason enough to reconsider this expense. When you ask the AI to remove the AI icon it turns on “focus mode” which hides the header (and cannot be found anywhere else) but keeps the AI button that is roughly where I scroll the page.

I’m so over seeing my immutable distro fail a system upgrade again and again forcing me to fix it manually. I was lazy and just put on what I assumed will work and except screen rotation I was right. If I find some motivation I’ll likely do a clean Arch setup and swap off the DM I cannot stand.
