If you aren't using the super key to access that menu you are using gnome wrong imo. Three finger swipe on track pad is also a great way to access the same menu.
KDE is fuckin fantastic, but it aims to replicate the windows ui and workflow. If that's what you want then I highly recommend it over gnome. But personally I don't think that desktop UX should be stuck in the early 2000s Redmond style. Once I changed my habits to use my windows button on the keyboard instead of moving my mouse all over hell to access the menu it's all I ever use. Mouse is just a fallback when the other hand is busy. I try every new KDE version because I kind of hate how the gnome devs act sometimes, but I can't get used to that workflow anymore.
I hope cosmic is great.
Agree to disagree I guess. I've tried changing the workflow in KDE to even resemble gnome and it just feels like you have to have a start menu with a taskbar. Sure, you could put that taskbar anywhere but it still operates the same as a windows 98 taskbar.
Maybe I'm just not used to the KDE way of doing things but next year will be my 20th anniversary of using Linux. I've tried every desktop environment and window manager. All of them.
I respect the KDE project but KDE makes me feel like I'm using a windows gui on top of Linux.
