I get the feeling you're not happy with Gnome, but not unhappy enough to ditch it.
Open Source window managers and desktop environments enough to choose from, preferred ones here are ctwm for low resources environments (RPi) and xfce4 for intel based laptops. There are loads of other options, I'm sure, but no experience with those. (KDE and Gnome are the reason my wife and I use xfce4)
Why XFCE for Intel specifically? I use XFCE regardless (currently on an AMD desktop).
I have Intel for my laptops and arm in the RPis. No AMD in use here. (My ancient AMD based servers refuse to boot)
I should have written Intel/AMD, 'the big, power hungry, stuff' or non-arm. ;) I don't want to waste memory for a desktop environment on the RPis when a simple, '90s window manager does the trick as well for the vnc server.
