I knew there was a way with little icons, or something showing running program, but it's five years since I wholly left Windows. So I left that out
Just tried Alt Tab on Linux Mint with Mate Desktop, Server 2003 theme but XP Metallic decorations and Oxygen icons using Marco and Compositor (window manager) and it works. No assurance on any other Linux desktop or Window manager. I also have a sort of panel pop-out on all four edges of the screen:
Top is menu, terminal, kill application, view system/Processes (like Win properties & task manager), and buttons of running programs only on current workspace.
Bottom is status & notifications (like taskbar notifications/tray), time-date, lock, log-out, quit (shutdown, restart etc). Also the 4 workspace previews/selectors (like 4 desktops).
Left is one click icons for common programs only accessing Local and Right is one click icons for anything needing LAN or Internet. The Desktop only has icons for mounted shares and storage devices and 3 x VMs.
NT4.0 (Still could have multipane File Manager), Win2000, XP were very flexible. Vista & W7 less so. Win10 seems like Windows 2.0 on Hercules Mono in terms of flexibility.
