I gave it a fair shot for about a year, using vanilla GNOME with no extensions. While I eventually became somewhat proficient, it’s just not good.

Switching between a few workspaces looks cool, but once you have 10+ programs open, it becomes an unmanageable hell that requires memorizing which workspace each application is in and which hotkey you have each application set to.

How is this better than simply having icons on the taskbar? By the way, the taskbar still exists in GNOME! It’s just empty and seems to take up space at the top for no apparent reason other than displaying the time.

Did I do something wrong? Is it meant for you to only ever have a couple applications open?

I’d love to hear from people that use it and thrive in it.

    The problem is with GTK4, most software are moving, and it cause different UI and since GTK4, we as user can’t have option to enable noCSD anymore like GTk3 :')

    I’m saying about XFCE, because I’m fond of XFCE workflow

      I agree with this, and with no option to enable no csd… it sucks sooooooo much
