At least Zorin OS performs better than Windows, which is a good one in my opinion. It's like Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition meets Gnome and turns it into one desktop environment. Not perfect but more secure than Windows, even though anti-cheat is the issue on Linux and that's why I kept Windows as a secondary OS. As of right now, a Linux-Windows user.
Yes, this Feature on Linux Mint is a practical little Thing. I would support the Request for this Function. but the Question is, if it is makeable with Gnome.
Make sure to up-channel that request to the GNOME developers. Zorin uses a base GNOME desktop environment and then tweaks it mostly with off-the-shelf extensions or a few of their own custom extensions. I like that feature a lot on my LMDE 6 installation.
Just to point out I have tweaked neonuser in terms of the z logo I created and this is Plasma 6 on X11 - can't remember if 5.27 of Plasma on Zorin had this item.
There is the extension called "Appfolders Management" but only supported GNOME Shell 3.28 to 3.32 because it said, "After 3.33, GNOME Shell handles this feature natively." which I coudn't find on extension manager for some reason.
