So I'm very lazy and rather than reinventing the wheel and configuring a desktop environment, a status bar, an application launcher and so on, this time I decided to give a shot to pop shell and it did not disappoint me. Pop Shell is a keyboard-driven layer for gnome shell. There are a few bugs but the overall experience is really pleasing. The only negative aspect is that gnome draws hell of a lot of RAM.
I changed a few keybindings and kept rofi as application launcher since the default one was not working for me.
To generate the file that holds all the keybindings (general procedure):
dconf dump / | sed -n -e '/\[org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings/,/^$/p' \
-e '/\[org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys/,/^$/p' > shortcuts.conf
To restore this configuration place all the folders inside .config. Clone the code for styli.sh inside the same folder:
cd ~/.config && git clone https://github.com/thevinter/styli.sh.git stylish
To import the keybindings:
dconf load / < ~/.config/dconf/shortcuts.conf
You also have to add Rofi to the Floating Window Exception List (navbar) and make applications start in the center of the screen:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter center-new-windows true
