Only thing that isn't bullshit is be nice and be confident.

The other options I tried were a bit too buggy for my tastes. I'll stick with it a bit longer. Idk.

I loved kde when I tried it. But felt too buggy to use it on my main laptop.

Oh damn. I did not know that. Might try default a bit more. Thanks.

Surely you dont have 10 workspace for 10 windows.

Am I not supposed to?

This is kind of the problem, if you add multiple apps in a random workspace, the only way I can think of to know which apps are in the background of that workspace is to memorize it. Which feels bad having to use my brain for that instead of focusing on whatever I'm doing.

If vanilla GNOME doesnt work for you, just install extension or move to another DE.

I'm trying dash to panel now, it seems to fix quite a few of my gripes.

Mhmm. The flow feels great with that many windows. It's just for me it feels like I need more than just 3-5 apps open to be productive. Maybe it's just a bad use case for how I do things.

Huh, funny, I wonder why that is. I just realized that happens to me too, I still have it vanilla on the pc and it doesnt bother me as much.

Maybe cause the bar at the top causes you to slightly tilt your neck down a bit more on the laptop and that's a non issue on monitors?

Maybe cause with multiple monitors there isn't as much fiddling finding the right workspace?

That's a very interesting point.

edit: I just realized I completely misunderstood what you said, you said the opposite of how I interpreted it, my bad.

Workspaces are great through

Indeed. I think the best thing I got out of trying to fully commit to vanilla GNOME was getting used to workspaces, went from never touching them to actually using them now, even with dash to panel, they're alright.

Mhmm. It feels great while I'm up to 3 workspaces. It just gets sketch when you have, an IDE + browser + pdf reader for documentation + one or two communication apps + a drawing board + .. you get the idea.

I loved the KDE layout, everything about it, except it was very very buggy on my system to the point.

Indeed, I'm trying dash to panel and it doesn't feel like it fixes quite a few of the issues I was having. I'm just afraid this is going to break every GNOME update and it's going to be annoying.

Indeed this is what I was doing, it turned out ok for me, but the issue is that I ended up having to memorize everything I had open, and worse: where I had it open, so slide properly. Sliding 6 times to get to where I wanted just felt silly.

On Gnome I can just write a shell script, go into Gnome settings and then add a hokey to it. I don’t need to install anything, it works much more fluidly, and takes up less system resources.

Holy shit. I've been sad we don't have ahk but this is such a simple solution. thank you.

Early pandemic. Probably ragequit and went back to windows weekly for like a few months until sticking to it for good.

Once you accept it's something new and you will have to learn some new things it's smooth sailing.

I'll ride this pixel til it dies.

I'm honestly sad reading this because there's an actual very real chance some of these come true, and probably way before 2050 lol.

Same way experienced users would prevent that.

Write down your password and recovery codes in multiple safe places.

That's a bit of a hassle. For me at least.

That's why I suggested protonpass. You can mess up but as long as you don't forget your pw you are fine.

protonpass for sure.

Bitwarden is great, but it's way too easy to lock yourself out of it if it's your first pw manager ever.

Do banking apps work in this ?
