<attenborough> In this thread, we witness the irony of Linux advocates telling people to use the Windows key. </attenborough>

I'm extremely experienced using and developing for Windows (and earlier) platforms, but it's true that I've never used a Linux machine before. I'm taking the opportunity to deliberately set one up and use it with Claude Code's help, in order to understand where the remaining sharp edges are, as well as the remaining dull ones. Desktop UX definitely qualifies as one of the latter.

So you really couldn't figure out what "Super key" meant, even with context? I feel like you are being hyperbolic. This isn't magical hidden Linux knowledge. Honestly, if not being able to find what applications you have running, and not even trying pressing the large button on your keyboard with the windows logo on it was so traumatizing, you might want to just avoid Linux entirely.
