Yes, except the free part
I like it, even though I’m not sure if I would call it the GNOME official workflow (is that even a thing?). I usually don’t get close to having 10 applications open. I tend to work with about 1 to 3 workspaces with various applications based on my needs. Furthermore, I keep the windows non-maximized which helps me condense more information yone screen
I like it, but is it programmer humor?
Edit: typos
Indeed, for me going back to an lts version helped me work around this. Currently on 6.1 and that seems to not have this issue.
