macOS vs. Windows app window management

ive been using windows and ubuntu gnome for years, and they handle app swithching in pretty much the same way: you use alt+tab to swith beteewn windows. 

windows also has win+ tab to show all open windows.

 

then i switched to macos, and everty works completely diff. it groups all windows of the same app under a single dock icon. when i use alt+tab, i can only switch between apps. not individual window, i have to use shortcus like cmd+1, 2, etc. to switch between windows .

ghostty is fine, but i usually have dozens of tabs open in chome, and thoese shortcuts witch between tabs instead of windows. what a mess!

i asked chatgpt about it, and it suggested trying an app called alttab. apprarently, you can to go controls -> group tabs and select show separte window for each tab to get something closer to the windows expericnce.

 

But seriously, i have to install yet another app just to get basic windows swticching to work the way i want.
