Is there Fedora offshoot with a sane UI ? _______________________________________________
Apart from the fact that your style is not particularly respectful and cooperative, others can't get along with the Gnome interface either. They have developed alternatives, which now also work very stable and reliable. Check out https://spins.fedoraproject.org/. There you will find more "traditional" desktops, e.g. Mate or Cinnamon.
You can install the desktops parallel to your current Gnome and try them out. So you don't need to reinstall.
Crudities aside, it has gotten out of hand. Is it worth trying to bring back "tvtwm", as an even lighter andmore stable window manager with very good hooks for managing multiple virtual windows?
