Here's a long review of Chapeau 24 Cancellara 64-bit Gnome edition, a Fedora-based distribution, tested on a Lenovo G50 laptop with UEFI, Secure Boot, 16 partitions and a multi-boot setup with Windows and numerous Linux distributions, covering live session, installation and post-install usage, including look & feel, network support - Wireless, Bluetooth, Samba sharing and printing, smartphone support - iPhone and Ubuntu Phone, package management, applications and extra software, backups, online accounts, multimedia support - MP3 and HD Video, hardware compatibility, suspend & resume, resource utilization, performance, responsiveness, battery life, stability, customization, problems with the bootloader setup and some of the programs, various other issues, and more. Enjoy.

    If you must use GNOME 3, the new Zorin 12 is based on it.

    First thing to do is install Dash to Dock extension in Chapeau. It makes the Favorites Dash behave like a real visible dock.

    GNOME 3 is actually easier to use with installing a few extensions. Before, it simply wasn't ready for the masses.

    Yes to D2D, got a tutorial and whatnot coming. Zorin was disappointing for me.
