I advise you to first have a good look around before you make any decision. Start by reading the 'Help', to be found under 'Activities'->'Applications'->'Accessories': the red/white lifebouy icon. Then you can navigate the desktop more or less comfortably. Furthermore a lot of things can be configured using the so called 'gnome-shell-extensions'. There you can add menu icons to the top bar, remove unwanted icons from top bar, add shutdown to the menu, add a menu item for workspaces, and more.
