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.

I will happily use any desktop environment that allows me to bring up a summary of all active windows by pressing the super key. That's just too ingrained in me now. I even find myself mindlessly doing it on Windows.
Kde has you covered. MOD + w by default and you can switch it in settings to MOD only.
You can even have hot corner like gnome does.
You'll need to configure Plasma to do that, as the default is to bring-up the launcher. The overview effect is alf-tab iirc.
Whenever I have to use Windows it's in front of other people an I swear they all think I'm an idiot when move the cursor to the top left and wait for something to happen only to experience disappointment
