KDE is so close to getting the best of both worlds out-of-box for Linux users. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a Magic Trackpad-heavy workflow (and it's probably why KDE is the default on Asahi).

- 4 finger swipe up is an overview for all desktops

- 4 finger swipe down is an overview for all windows

- 3 finger pinch does the MacOS-style desktop overview with your other desktops at the top

All of the gestures are 1:1 with the trackpad, and are functionally very useful. It feels a little cobbled together in current builds, but I'm hoping it gets extra attention with KDE6: https://youtu.be/aBEsxTVRsEo?t=100

The nice thing about kde's version of "showing all window thumbnails" is that it's also searchable by typing
I have been incredibly impressed by KDE in my recent uses of various Linux distros
