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.

On Gnome,
(screenshot from Workspace Matrix extension site, not mine)
In combination, these two features allow me very quick overview of everything I have open, presented in an ordered fashion, allowing quick, keyboard-driven application change.
I'm not aware that the exact features of Workspace Matrix are reproduced by anything in any other DE.
KDE plasma has it natively.
I don't think it does. It didn't when I checked a year ago, at least. You couldn't get live previews on the workspace pop-up.
Can you point me to the feature you refer to? If it really does this, it would be a major game changer for me.
Oh, true, you don't get previews of the windows inside. However, that shouldn't be very hard to implement, so you might have luck if you ask for it to be in Plasma 6.
Thanks for the suggestion! It could sound like the timing might be a bit unfortunate, though: https://planet.kde.org/nate-graham-2023-11-25-this-week-in-kde-the-plasma-6-feature-freeze-approaches/
