GNOME Desktop top bar - waste of space? (feddit.dk)

Hi,

I used to be a big fan of GNOME the way it got out of my way when I didn’t need it and no icons in the bottom to take up desktop space. But the top bar just seems so… useless. It holds a few useful icons in the right side (and you can get extensions to add more) but other than this, it’s just taking up space. After a trip past Xfce I’m now on KDE with the bar in the top.

Have I missed anything about the top bar in GNOME Desktop?

I might be misunderstanding you, but dragging down from the top bar in GNOME while a window is maximized results in the same behaviour as grabbing the window's toolbar. So you can still move the window around when dragging down from the top bar. This has been the default behaviour for a long time (maybe since GNOME 3? unsure)
