As long as this can be toggled on or off I am fine with it! I will certainly use it on my laptop, but on my desktop, I find it kinda hard to switch workspaces with the keyboard shortcuts, and since the mosaic concept makes heavy use of the workspaces, I don't think I could use it on desktop... Unless I get a trackpad (which I am heavily considering after using gnome with my laptop, the gestures are just that good)

    I also love that GNOME tries to be its own thing, and not another Windows clone to attract Windows users. This prevents deceiving them into thinking "hey it looks just like Windows but its free, so it must work the same!" then bricking their systems. Having a completely different "Linux OS"/branding will help make the distinction that Linux is not Windows, the same way Windows users don't expect MacOS to work like Windows, since they look and behave so differently
