Originally posted by AdamW View PostYes, in the standard GNOME 3 design, there really isn't a 'desktop'. It's just not made to work that way. When running under X it's possible to enable some basic desktop interaction - this was added into a release somewhere in the middle of the GNOME 3 series in response to requests - but this is not possible under Wayland because of technical details of the way it's implemented not being compatible with Wayland. It's just kinda not how you're meant to interact with GNOME 3. The primary way to interact with GNOME 3 is intended to be the Overview (the thing you get when you hit the Start key or click Activities).
Originally posted by AdamW View PostThe minimize button is, again, a GNOME 3 thing; in stock GNOME 3 there is no minimize button on standard windows. The cited reason for this is that minimization is really not fundamentally necessary to efficient use: you can switch between windows via the overview or alt-tab. There is a commonly-used extension which adds minimize buttons, if you still want them. It sounds in general like you're one of the folks who'd be happier with several widely-used GNOME extensions enabled; if you Google around a bit, there are quite a lot of blogs etc. where people discuss their preferred extensions. You can browse and install extensions at https://extensions.gnome.org/.
The buttons in the 'power menu' use icons that I thought are pretty universal...the one in question shows the 'power' icon by default - when clicked, it will display a 'Cancel / Restart / Poweroff' dialog and power off if you do nothing for 60 seconds - and if you hold down Alt, it turns into (yes) a 'Pause' icon, which means 'suspend' (not power off). This again is standard GNOME 3 stuff.
PS. At least I see that now the shutdown button is the default option instead of suspend. This is amazing progress! Maybe in the next decade we can have a task bar back in the desktop by default as well.
