GNOME 3+ is confusing and difficult to use. Many of the design decisions are strange and break GUI conventions that have been around for decades. I have tried to understand and use GNOME 3+, but it is utterly frustrating and does not work for me. I have to use GNOME 3+ at work because RHEL is the blessed Linux distribution and IT does not allow EPEL / third-party package repos that are not strictly required for business purposes. RHEL 8 removed all desktop environment choices except GNOME 3, so every day is frustrating. I would rather have a Windows desktop and just SSH into a RHEL machine, so I don't have to use the GNOME GUI, but IT does not have extra computers to hand out.
