From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

tilda and guake also exist.
Tdrop does not support programs that use Wayland directly
Im not sure about drop down but Hyprland has a special desktop that you can overlay over any other desktop, neat for having a terminal whenever you need or pulling up some doc over whatever you are doing without having to mess up your layout or figure out which desktop to switch to.
As for alt-tab, just super + 1/2/3…. to switch to a different desktop.
Also, is there a better ways to swtich tabs rather than press on the
icon
orAlt+Tab
?
I can't comment specifically on --drop-down
as those annoy the heck out of me. If you don't mind a bit more of a manual approach to window switching without fancy bells and whistles, rofi
can do that for you with rofi -show window
and typing a few letters gets me there faster than looking for a snapshot of a window or an icon.
