I just learned that 'raise background window on hover' is in #Gnome! It's so easy! /s
I'm trying to nibble away at the things that keeps more creative, non technical Mac/Win users from using #Linux systems. This particular issue isn't earth shattering, but with most things #UX, the devil is in the details. We need to chase down dozens of problems like this to make this approachable without needing terminal.
Edit: Apparently gnome-tweaks may be able to help?
