The enlightened, then, know that the only purpose of ANY desktop environment is to start the correct program when I hit "super" and then type the first 3-4 characters of a program name. And to do that left/right screen split thing when you hit super+left/right.
I can't figure out how my workflow is that different from other linux users or if I'm just part of the silent majority. Literally all I ask of my DE is:
- the super+search thing i mentioned above
- run the following programs fullscreen: terminator, intellij, pycharm, vscodium, firefox
And... that's just it. Oh wait, one more thing:
- make video, wifi, audio, multiple monitors etc just work
It's in service of that last one that I've been pretty happy with Gnome 3 the whole time it's been out. None of their shuffles or excisions have interrupted my workflow, so I don't mind it at all.
