Unfortunately, I cannot always predict what I will need, nor do I like having everything opened in advance. Guess on this part my philosophy differs with GNOME’s.
But otherwise I love it, and I hope I’ll figure my way of doing things here!
I don’t open everything at startup neither, and to be honest, I almost never use the dock neither. WIN + write the first letters is more efficient. That’s why I love Gnome, you can use shortcuts for everything. It is clean, still extremely powerful. I used i3/sway for long, and then realized I could do everything the same in a much better polished desktop environment :)
There’s also extensions like “search light” if you don’t want to have the menu full screen when searching (I used to use that, but I don’t need it anymore).
I see!

Night light is a must btw, always used it.

Aha, I see!
So, GNOME is more keyboard-intensive and is meant to be in many ways similar to a window manager, but with the perks of a full-fledged DE
Exactly! You can use it as a WM or as click-click env!
Thanks, this does provide some insight and also explains why managing many windows in one workspace is a pain in stock Gnome lol
although even then the app menu with a search option would be superior over whatever they have invented, but that’s me grumbling
