KDE and GNOME both solve this with a dock, the same way that Windows and macOS solve it.
> It's amusing to see that they've been embraced (if not extended) by the haters.
The haters by-and-large don't use it. Those haters use esoteric tiling WMs that don't bind anything to super by default.
The KDE and GNOME developers have a direct usability goal. With respect to Slashdot's opinions, the Linux desktop would still be stuck in the 90s if we listened to them. Your perspective as a DOS/PowerShell user is not any more valuable, considering you barely use Windows as-is.

You get nothing but a blank desktop by default. The bar at left only shows shortcuts for launching tasks, not running tasks themselves. Your perspective as a DOS/PowerShell user is not any more valuable, considering you barely use Windows as-is. Those advocating an OS with 5% market share might do well to listen to other perspectives once in a while.
