I don't like this at all. Scrolling is a 'no' in serious UI design, and tiling should be an option. The video is too fast to allow any actual evaluation of its offerings. The big buttons in the section 'find your tasks instantaneously' are not necessary. The gnome interface sucks big time and I don't see this as improvement.

somehow every app-selector I know (except a real terminal shell) uses scrolling. Imho this looks great for a tablet (and if this stabilizes I'd in fact buy a surface pro or similar instead of a new notebook, should my current private notebook die).

> Scrolling is a 'no' in serious UI design Scrolling gives users a spatial feeling (ie. "what is where in relation to something else") in contrast to just magically letting things appear without animation or transition. There are plenty of UI designs which use scrolling. Sure you can debate whether they are a success or not but I've never head of "Scrolling is a 'no' in serious UI design". That sounds more like a personal preference. > and tiling should be an option. As far as I can tell there is nothing stopping you from simply using a workspace per app. Effectively disabling tiling.

  You can't put windows on top of each other that way.

  This has a stacking option too. You don’t have to use tiling.

There are no things that take more space than needed. It's simply a distraction. > As far as I can tell there is nothing stopping you from simply using a workspace per app. Effectively disabling tiling. What if I want windows to be connected? that feature is not offered.

Actually, I've used PaperWM for a bit (a Gnome Shell extension), and that one puts windows next to each other and scrolls left and right between them. (Each window is full height but not necessarily full width.) I find that very nice. For example, I could have a 2/3 window on the left and parts of another 2/3 window on the right, and going from the left to the right window then scrolls 1/3 so that the full right window is visible. Pretty cool, actually. I will want to try Material Shell, too.
