GNOME’s minimalist so not sure what else to show. Technically, I shouldn’t have icons on the desktop I guess.
I have the overview (forget the actual name) on super, which is similar to GNOME’s. And also have the virtual desktops set up to horizontal only with some similar keyboard-based shortcuts for switching.
I wanted to try the “one application per desktop” paradigm, which I did and didn’t really like it, so I went back to regular alt-tabbing + overview switching but left the layout alone.
Just billionaires/millionaires?
If it’s a matter of culling parasites, everyone down to about middle-manager level should be included IMHO.
