    It really isn’t. Starting from only having a close button on every window, windows behaving differently, not having a panel with currently running programs, etc.

    I mean yeah there are windows and you can interact with them, but that’s where similarities end.

      super/win+name+enter to open a program, super+arrow key to arrange or minimize, alt+tab to switch. Dragging windows to the edge is the same too

      There is literally a panel with running programs, its just set to hide by default, kinda like when you set windows taskbar to auto hide

        So it’s really not the same workflow at all? Just this month I’ve explained to really smart people how to use corner tiling in windows and hotkeys, most people today don’t even own a PC. For me, personally, the difference is negligible, for a lot of people it’s really alien.

          Idk what your mean, i literally use the exact same way to launch programms in win and gnome. Also counter anecdote, I installed ubuntu on my 65year old moms pc and she just straight up used it as well as windows. But whatever
