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.

That's like saying I don't need to clean my room if I can just shove everything into the closet
Minimizing applications feels like a Windows workflow because it doesn't have decent workspaces like most Linux DEs. I never feel the need to minimize a window on Linux because I can arrange everything nicely in workspaces.
Shoving everything into the task bar doesn't strike me as more orderly. Less so really.
