Depends how the dock is used and if it auto hides + were it is placed, Docks at the bottom of the screens are just waste space as all screens now are wide screen. So a retracting dock on the left does not take up screen space on my widescreen i can place 2 apps side by side very comfortably.
Iāve got gnome on my touchscreen tablet-pc, and I like the retracting left-side dock thereāmy left thumb does all the app picking in tablet mode. But on desktops I avoid the mouse as much as possible, so itās keybindings all the way.
Exactly. And besides, if I didnāt spend so much time tinkering with my i3config then I might have to do some actual work, God forbid.
I actually agree with this completely. If I were to use a tablet computer, I think gnome would be my first choice.
Yup. Exactly. As soon as one application comes up, it immediately hides until I go for it again. Otherwise itās a great application switcher and launcher for the 8apps I used regularly.
AFAIK, gnome is the only *nix system that works well with tablets. Iāve got a Lenovo Miix 710 and Iām still amazed how well it works out of the box, stylus and all (everything but the camera, which seems not to be supported generally, not that Iāve looked very hard).
I use a desktop canāt do with laptops as i have greasy skin and touch-pads do not work well for me, Gnome is keyboard concentric and that suits me fine but i forget the keyboard strokes most days so its mouse actions mostly.
I have 8 apps and menu on my dock, and the top bar also retracts its really not that gnomish i build for my own preferences not for a distro Devs vision
Just a passing thought - the Unity DE is also pretty adept on tablets etc (even, briefly, phones).
Yes - it still exists (one of my distros has it).
I last posted my desktop on August 7:
Today not much has changed, but something is different, and I have a (boring) story to tell.
My desktop wallpaper, then and now, is this 1925 painting by Kandinsky:
https://www.wassily-kandinsky.org/Yellow-Red-Blue.jsp
I have a print of this painting in my home, so I thought I knew the painting well. However, walking by the print in my home yesterday, I suddenly realized that something is wrong: My EndeavourOS desktop is the mirror image (reflected in a vertical axis) of the actual painting. An Internet search quickly confirmed that the print in my home is correct, but my wallpaper is wrong. I had downloaded a flawed version of a favorite painting and used it as my wallpaper. Most embarrassingly, I should have known better than to accept for my wallpaper the mirror image of a painting I loved.
My next thought was to search online for a high-resolution version of the painting with the correct orientation. I was successful in my search, but then I had a better thought: There must surely be a way to correct the image of the painting I had already downloaded. It didnāt take long to discover that ImageMagick, which is included with the offline installation of EndeavourOS, has exactly the functionality I needed to correct my wallpaper:
convert -flop kandinsky.jpg kandinsky2.jpg
(Reading man convert, I discoverred that -flip reflects the image on a horizontal axis, but -flop reflects the image on a vertical axis, which is what I needed.)
So, after very little work, thanks to EndeavourOS, here is my current, corrected desktop:

Thatās 100% true for me. That, and the fact that I passionately hate every other OS1, so that limits my choices a bit. 
1Except GNU/Hurd, but that one is not yet ready, any century nowā¦
And TempleOS, but Iām not worthy to use it.
