Perhaps the ICP should appeal more to the everyday layperson…a gender neutral term coined in 1972, just seventeen years before the unrelated 1989 release of Belgian techno anthem, Pump Up the Jam.

I know you said Gnome, but if you are willing to look at Plasma, I’ve just started using Bismuth on KDE Plasma and I think it can do at least a chunk of that. It can set particular sizes with Window Rules, it looks to have a quite robust shortcut system, including resizing windows, swapping, rotating, or changing layouts. As for the focus vs open, KRunner lets you choose the active application when you type it’s name. There’s also this: https://github.com/academo/ww-run-raise but I have not used it and cannot vouch for that.

What are you doing with your machine that would be confusing for your standard end user? KDE out of the box is good enough for my daily driving. PopOS, Bazzite, and Mint work great. GUI options for most normal computing things you’d do these days. The amount of customization allowed on an end user’s machine is often minimal anyway. Plus, you sorta imply that the end user would be doing all this, instead of an IT admin preconfiguring a machine with Ansible or a custom install script. I think you may be over estimating what your typical business user does. It’s mostly “Here’s my chat, here’s my browser, here’s my 1-5 LOB apps, here’s my printer. Can I change my background to my kids? Great.”
Between cloud apps and RemoteApp technology, there is a pretty decent chance for Linux desktops with Windows servers becoming the norm, again, for smaller size businesses. Organizations I work with still use thin clients, which - what’s the difference? And based on end user reactions to the UI when upgrading to Windows 11 - all change is hard. They’d get used to it fast. Especially if it acts mostly like Windows 10.

It is…I would like a Fediverse video platform, but this one ain’t very cash money.

Ah, this looks like it’s a snap to use.
You′re walking in the woods
There’s no one around and your phone is dead
Out of the corner of your eye, you spot them
(Written in Rust)
They’re following you, about 30 feet back
They get down on all fours and break into a sprint
They’re gaining on you
“Written in Rust!”
You’re looking for your car but you′re all turned around
They’re almost upon you now
And you can see there’s blood on their face
My God, there′s blood everywhere!
Running for your life (from writing in Rust!)
They’re compiling a knife (it′s written in Rust!)
