GNOME is simultaneously feature-reach and simple. It focuses on productivity and minimizing the amount of time you spend interacting with the shell.

F... the keyboard--- that's why we have WINDOWS and GUI's and MICe--- so we DON"T NEED to sit banging stupid keys and memorizing a bunch of bulls.. shortcuts.. and it's NOT it's pronounced "NOM"-- period.

Tip from me: Super+Scroll up/down allows to easily move between workspaces.

I hated Gnome at first because it felt very unfamiliar, but after trying window tiling managers for a while (which I love but felt somewhat limited), and trying to find a balance between TWMs and traditional desktops, the Gnome workflow actually has grown on me quite a bit and I actually quite like it now! I had to watch your video just to make sure I'm actually using this right. On one hand, I'm utilizing workspaces like I would on a TWM, opening apps via keyboard shortcuts, but also retaining a lot of the floating windows experience whenever I felt like it.

As a person who usually eorks with at least 2-3 programms opened at the same time - the gnome's expectation seems really weird to me

I hated Gnome Shell when it came out. On the other hand after 14 years I am tired of fighting with KDE to make it work the way I want. Your video has given me a better appreciation for the intent of Gnome and frankly after all these years I dont care about the desktop, I want to do work and I want the DE to stay the hell out of my way.

Great video!
Actually, I wanted Gnome to be like KDE or Windows, but now I know that Gnome has a completely different approach. Thanks a lot.

Thanks, that's a really good explanation of the idea behind Gnome, and it does give me some things to think about :)

I actually don't like how gnome works, but I liked this video, it helped me to understand better how actually it should be used. I will try to use some of your tips when I need to use it again.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, because of this video I entered the world of Linux, I always thought that Linux is complicated system, I tried more than once but I couldn't because I didn't understand the philosophy behind Gnome Workflow, to be honest I didn't know there was a workflow Philosophy, I thought Linux was just hard. and you in this video connect everything, thank you very much .

This is a great video on GNOME. I've been using it as my main DE, but with extensions.
With this knowledge, I want to try using Gnome without extensions.
The exception will be visual modifications.

Thank you for the video, as a new GNOME user this was really helpful. It does not have to be this complicated, though. I get having the dock hidden and having bigger real estate on your monitor, but not having minimize button is just weird to me. I want to clean up my desktop once I'm done working on something, but I want the apps loaded in RAM and ready when I need them again later. Minimizing a window is just way easier than moving it to another workspace.

Thanks, gnome is now making sense for me. I think I will finally feel at home in linux.

Thanks! I've been using Cinammon on Mint for a couple of years now but I was thinking about trying something else on my work laptop. KDE was kinda intuitive but confusing a lot and looking like Windows. So wanted something else. But Gnome was a bit confusing too initially. Because I just didn't understand the idea behind it and how to use it. Yes, there are a few odd things but I started to like it and it makes using a computer easy again.

I don't see as really about focus on task/program that much (although I remember that devs used to accent it early on; and GNOME indeed hides unnecessary things).
The biggest difference between GNOME way of things and traditional DEs is the way to switch programs and to see what is open.

I used GNOME for a very long time and switch to KDE recently just because of some bugs in java proprietary software on Wayland, but still in KDE I use a lot of workspaces and ALT+TAB, ALT+~ to switch between windows. I have muscle memory on which workspace is which task and it all becomes very easy and efficient.

The only thing I miss is the GNOME's really good overview where it is so easy to manage all open windows and open new ones.
The nicest thing is that in KDE I can have two rows of workspaces. Once you get used to just know where you usually open windows, switching with simple shortcuts is way easier than using traditional task-bar with icons.

Thanks for the explanation. One question - what are you doing when the pile with dots indicators pops up? I've never seen it on my Fedora 36 system, but it seems very handy

Thanks for the aspirational concept that is gnome....like others have said, the best explanation of its kind.

Don't think Gnome developers have worked in a busy office where you are working on a document, taking IMs Keeping an eye on your calendar for the next meeting and responding to your bosses email. I wonder how many Gnome user install dash to panel lol
