This is the reason I use Gnome. Sure, I could spend time tweaking and theming KDE Plasma's bars or messing around with i3 config files. But Gnome is pretty straightforward. Sure there are extensions and GTK themes. But it's primarily designed with one workflow in mind, kind of like iOS. I find myself doing more work when I'm using a Gnome desktop environment.
When I use Windows, there's a lot of "update work" to do that ends up distracting me. Updating WSL Ubuntu, updating chocolatey, checking individual apps for updates, checking windows for updates, etc. I end up being more focused when I'm using Linux.

I cut down the panels to just one thin (24mm) strip at the top, and most that is filled with just my everyday launch-icons, date, and desktop switcher. With my daily back-up, and a couple of scripts, I can completely re-install my system from an absolute disaster to up-and-running normally within about an hour or an hour and a half.
