From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Keyboard -> Keyboard shortcuts from Settings will show all the available keyboard shortcuts. You can also create your own custom keybindings
These seem like a lot of personal design complaints rather than actual issues with GNOME itself.
You misunderstood, that's not what GNOME expects at all. Your app not maximizing on startup is because the app doesn't maximize on startup. GNOME doesn't have a setting to maximize all apps by default since that should be the app's responsibility.
If you want the auto-tiling window manager experience, you'll need to install an extension (Paperwm, tiling shell, Forge, Pop shell). Extensions are like applications, there's no shame in using them.
