…and it went very smoothly. I installed on a spare PC for now, but I could absolutely see this becoming my daily driver. I’m mostly surprised at how snappy and responsive it is, even on 10 year old hardware!

I disagree with your take on gnome, I think it’s super simple and easy to understand, especially with how similar it works to phone OSs. My uni has gnome running in the computer pool and none of the hundreds of win and mac people coming in have problems with it
as someone who does one on one troubleshooting, people have a lot of problems with gnome, honestly if they did would they tell you?
Gnome is just a very fundamentally different experience than windows out of the box and while some, many even will love it, it is not the best default choice for windows converts.
It’s Ubuntu so with the permament dock tbf. They only came to me with problems stemming from the fact that we were forced to use the deprecated AFS with hacky workarounds, or them trying to install software which they didn’t have permissions to do, or the printer being out of paper
Finding the activities button in the top left on default gnome is the only hurdle I can think of. The all apps button, the calendar/notifications and quick settings are all obvious things to try clicking which will immediatly reveal their purpose
these are hurdles that exist for enterprise users not ones that exist for typical desktop users who want things like “why can’t i see the names of the windows on the bar”
enterprise users expect to not have things be exactly the way they want and don’t complain as much about customization needs
