I'm actually a big fan of the Gnome workflow on laptops. When using a mouse i HATE Gnome but when using a trackpad? It has no peers. It's entirely designed around gestures. three fingers up to switch apps, side to side to switch desktops, up a 2nd time to get the apps page, etc. I do wish it was more customizable like KDE but it's my go to on a laptop simply because I can't stand using a trackpad with anything else.
I liked Gnome2, but never got the feeling for the current generation
Especially on a laptop I love tiling window managers, like i3
Not needing the mouse for basic things is really nice
This is interesting info I wish I had known about while using Gnome for like 10 years... (Did not migrate from a MacOS environment, so that's on me)
