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.

It sadly doesn't quite work right on KDE. You can get close: you can show an application launcher, or a exposé-like window overview, or a pager, but you can't show all of them at once in a way that's easy to work with between like Gnome does.
Heck, even Gnome regressed Gnome 40, as you don't get the vertical desktop overview any more. At least there's shell extensions that let me get Gnome 3's behaviour back.
It's a real pity, because I like KDE, and definitely the KDE apps, more, but the Super-key overview is no hard to quit.
