From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can only focus your eyes on one window at a time. Alt-tab swapping between windows covers the vast majority of my use cases. Arranging windows next to each other to view them at the same time is a waste of time, other than a few rare use cases for me. What would be an improvement would be better ways to manage sets of windows to alt-tab through.
