    Well, I can simply open an app by tapping it on the home screen on Android. What do I need to do on Gnome?

      i dont have a touch device with gnome, but you open the app drawer with i believe a left swipe. on android you usually swipe up instead.

        So no quick way to open my 30ish favorite apps? Is there also a gesture to close an app or do I need to press the close button?

          you can reorganize the app drawer as to make your apps more acessible. just like regular gnome.

            But then I still have to use the app drawer. There’s a reason why every mobile OS shows you your favourites first.

                It’s been a while, so the answer would probably be no. That’s why I’m asking. Last time I used Gnome, the home screen was always empty. Favourites are only shown after pressing the Super key or going into Activities. Is that not the case anymore?
