I’m still getting used to the idea of no “panel” (tasks bar),

I'm using Debian/Plasma and I have a task bar. Maybe it's optional or depends on environment?

Now you're making me think I should get rid of my task bar...

    Yeah, I completely forgot that during the install Debian gave me multiple choice for the DE. I think I am using GNOME. I don't remember if I chose it on purpose or it was the default choice and I just rolled with it.

    Gnome is typically the default for Debian, if you want that taskbar here is the doc to install KDE Plasma.

    Essentially:

    sudo apt remove gnome task-gnome-desktop gnome-core gdm -y
    
    # alternatively you could also “sudo apt purge *gnome*” but there is a possibility dependencies may get caught up in this
    
    sudo apt install kde-full kde-plasma-desktop task-kde-desktop sddm -y
    
    # You’ll likely get prompts throughout the install
    
    sudo apt autoclean
    sudo apt autoremove -y
    sudo reboot
