On Linux you don't switch between the windows of a specific app OR between apps (which ignores the individual Windows of each app). Instead, its approach is to treat all windows as complete distinct. "Alt+Tab" can cycle between windows on the current display, and ignore windows on any other display. Task bars (eg XFCE) can do the same: show a list of windows that are on its display.
You can group windows from the same app too, if you've got lots of windows open.

Also, my long-time mac-using SO tells me she used to use spaces but found them counterproductive, so turned them off altogether, so maybe that's a good idea for people who run into problems with them when moving to macs.
