I wonder if Jelle van der Waa owns a Tesla, or if any computer brands recommend the 80% limit.

My current setup is Fedora Workstation 39, so has Gnome as default. I also have installed a few Wayland-native window managers. The one extension I run in Gnome is "Dash to Panel". I used to have to run one that opened the desktop to the desktop, not the overview, but Dash to Panel has an option to do this built-in. I am open to other full desktop environment options, and keeping tabs on Cosmic, but Gnome is good enough for me for now.
One added thought on its evolution, it started to really look nice when it went from 3.38 to 40. I assume this was related to GTK4 and libadwaita. I know there was some controversy about this, some functionality removed (ability to theme and/or related to SSD vs. CSD, if I recall), but from an ascetics point of view it was a big improvement. And although things like functionality and stability matter, looks also matter to me as well. I want the environment I work in to look nice. Not related to Linux of course, but when macOS went from 10.9 to 10.10, there was that same level of improvement in the looks department.

Gnome 3.x used to have the workspace switcher in a second dock on the right and both it and the dash would be atop a darkened version of the desktop background. To switch to one you just clicked one of them workspaces in the switcher. Gnome 40 zooms the workspace out to reveal the dash and a peak at another workspace, then going into applications view zooms out even further so you can see all the workspaces. What was once done by basically clicking something on a workspace bar turned into just clicking the actual workspace to travel to it. Since workspaces in the overview look visually more like a gallery, you're likely to assume that you can scroll through them, which you can. Once something is stored on more than one workspace then the workspace switcher shows up again at the top of the screen but it mimics the look and function of workspaces in the application view.
So it managed to improve usability while getting itself out of the gaudy early smart phone look.

I bring up the calculator a lot so I'll usually launch it by type "calc" and just press enter to choose the first thing on the list and Calculator launches. But if I just using LibreOffice Calc and I do the same thing, then that will be the first in the list.
