Is this an improvement? Anyone have a better idea? Thanks! > Fine by me. I was considering just using some bold formatting in the original version, but this might be still a bit better. However, you dropped the "that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism" phrase used in the original version. I wonder if people might then start arguing about applications which are installed but not visible in the menu (there might be some, even though I don't have a concrete example). Especially regarding the "all apps installed by default" part. You might want to integrate the phrase also into the new version, or add a footnote clarifying that only apps accessible "graphically" count. Or do you think it's a non-issue? Also please note that that section also contains: "All applications installed by default in Fedora Workstation must comply with each MUST and MUST NOT guideline in the Applications and Launchers policy." which should stay included, I believe. I assume you omitted it for readability reasons. This would probably be kept at the very bottom, like now.
