DApp Store - Ubuntu 22+ Issue: Users on Ubuntu 22 and newer versions might experience issues with loading app icons in the DApp Store. This is under investigation.
Points to Mention:

Atomic Swaps Requirement: For users intending to execute Atomic Swaps with ETH, DAI, WBTC, and USDT, it is necessary to create an account on Infura.
