I just installed a gnome (Fedora Workstation) in an VM.

This is your first time running Gnome?
1) the taskbar only shows "activity" and the current
running program. Where are the rest?
The top bar is not a taskbar.
2) I have to click "Activity" to see what programs are
running
I prefer to use the "logo" key to get to the overview instead of moving
the mouse to the corner.
3) the current running program takes up the entire
screen, like an Android tablet. I can find no way
to size, move or minimize the current program
That's the default and how I prefer to use it myself. Almost all
applications I run maximized. However, you don't have to. There are
many shortcut keys, you should take a look in settings. But to start
with, double-clicking the title bar will switch between maximized and
not. If you drag the title bar of the window to the right or left side
of the screen it will resize to half the screen size. Dragging to the
top maximizes it. If it's not maximized, you can resize the window from
the edges and corners. There is not really a concept of minimizing,
although it is possible to add a minimize button in the settings. But
without a taskbar, it's not really useful anyway.
4) is this suppose to emulate an Android tablet? One
program at a time?
Not really. You can run all the applications you want and they're
easily accessible with alt-tab or the overview.
If you really want the old-style interface, you can install the
"gnome-classic-session" and select it from the login screen. That will
give you the taskbar. Or you can just install the specific extension
that adds that.
Hi Sam,
Thanks for the tutorial. :-)
Yes, this is the first time in a serious manner.
I have always used Xfce, but am starting to get a
bit annoyed at all the issues the can't or won't
get fixed.
