Flatpaks because their updating works (compared to my experience with Appimages) and the Apps starting instantly (compared to my limited experience with snaps). But sadly, a lot of production software doesn't want to support either of this package formats? I haven't seen support from Davinci Resolve or Mari, as an example.
I like the overall design of the Gnome Shell (top panel) and the workflow with different workspace. I like it so much that I actually copied it in KDE. What I don't like is the look and feel of GTK apps. They're often so limited or the advanced options aren't clear at the first look.
If you like Debian, then just wait for Vanilla OS. The next big release (a open beta should be out soon) will switch from Ubuntu to Debian. I will switch instantly if there's a KDE variant.
So far it's good and stable. But to be fair I only have it installed for about 3 weeks. Before that, I played with it in a virtual machine for a month. I decided to test it because I wanted a KDE focused Distro and OpenSuse was recommended to me. Watched this review and gave it a try. Quite happy so far but I may switch to Vanilla OS, should it get a KDE version. I ended up preferring Flatpaks anyway and a Distro that doesn't allow me to accidentally bork my system, sounds good to my causal ears 😉.
I usually have all windows over 2 - 3 workplaces placed. You can see which windows are open in the dock with the bars to the right from the symbol icons and I use mostly alt + tab to circle between the 3 - 4 windows per workplace. And should I really need a view of all open windows, I can move the mouse to the top right corner and activate the overview 😉
