Carl,

Using preferences (Settings is what I think we're talking about) and gnome-tweaks is not at all difficult-- well, finding what needs to be changed is the most difficult, and knowing the correct terminology to run a search.  But I've used both of those apps to make a lot of changes already.

What's much more difficult is making changes in gnome (or are they in Wayland?) which are no longer configurable using Settings or gnome tweaks... or perhaps not configurable at all in gnome.

Hello Ken,

for how to use preferences in Gnome or how to use gnome-tweaks, you could explore forums
like
ubuntu.com <http://ubuntu.com> or askubuntu.com <http://askubuntu.com>

There are minimum differences, when you use Gnome in different distros.

This way gnome-tweaks works.
You only need to know the version
for searching in forums.

    Ken, that Desktop User Guide is very old (see the last modified times
    of files in https://people.gnome.org/~bmsmith/
    <https://people.gnome.org/~bmsmith/>) and it does not refer
    to GNOME 3 desktop environment used in Fedora 33.

    what is explained in that userguide does not correspond at all to
    the what's in the tweak tool... iow, it doesn't seem to be the
    same app, the Preference Tool, mentioned in the userguide.
