Decided to go with a space theme this time, and with subtler graphical effects for less distraction; now on GNOME 43.3 and using the Dracula color scheme for the terminal, code and text editors, the Jasper Dracula (Dark) shell theme, and the Tela Circle Dracula (Dark) icon theme.

What extension did you use for tiling?

Thanks! I had never tried the newer gnome, last time I tried it was the original gnome3 which came out after Gnome2 was obsolete and it was really buggy then constantly crashing. I later used Xfce and Cinnamon for a long time, a few years back I tried both i3wm and Sway ran that for a while until I decided to try KDE Plasma since I had never tried that.

Gnome always seemed bad to me but just the other day I found a video of how the Gnome workflow is meant to be and after having seen that it seemed to me that the Gnome workflow is quite similar to the tiling workflow so I thought why not give Gnome another chance after all these years. Liking it so far but will take bit to get used to it. Seeing you use tiling I thought I might try that out in my Gnome setup to see how that feels. Thanks!

I absolutely loved GNOME 2, it was the default for Ubuntu when I begun using Linux, I greatly enjoyed how customizable it was, especially with Compiz for some truly wacky FX.

I have tried other DE's but I always end up going back to GNOME, although I skipped over the entire GNOME 3 era because I was not using Linux at the time.

I am happy to have been able to help, I hope that you enjoy the tiling extension!
