Liking the fullscreen app search thingamafuck is your prerogative even if I feel this kind of UX is only at home on a mobile phone (also I’m fairly sure Plasma can also do that with some fennagling–)
The thing people (me included) detest about GNOME has very little to do with that anyway, peeps don’t like how locked down it is and how it refuses to support certain features thought to be ‘basic’, so you have to use extensions… Which can be janky on occasion – And definitely will get abandoned by their creators and disabled when you upgrade GNOME version.
Valid. I’m a pretty new Linux convert (6 months or so) and gnome is what I landed on. I tried KDE Plasma and it was okay, maybe I am not giving it enough of a chance. I noticed the desktop and windows were kind of flickering as well, not sure why. Nvidia graphics card, so it’s already a bit janky anyway.
Sounds like Ubuntu underneath your Plasma. I’ve had the exact same experience when using Neon, Kubuntu, and Ubuntu+KDE. I install any non-Ubuntu based distro with KDE (like openSUSE) and whiz bang everything is working again.
GNOME bad
Plasma good
XFCE better
I couldn’t get used to plasma. I dunno why. I really like the gnome style applications window over a start menu.

Yeah, NVidia+Linux means some jankiness.
NVidia+Linux+Wayland and at that point you’re just engaging in self-flagellation.

I’ve experienced desktop crashing on Plasma, never happened on other DEs.
