I think I have not used the desktop for like a decade. There's always something full screen in the foreground and it would take forever to minimize and maximise every window to what it was before. Most apps I search or have pinned to start tiles. Anyone else?

Win+D minimizes everything to show the desktop. Press Win+D again to go back to your apps as they were before.

Is there something like this on macos?

you can assign an active corner (and other gestures too I think) to that

I tried active corners but I had to disable them because I was constantly triggering it by accident. Programs always put tools or scroll bars near the corners of the screen, and since I used dual monitors, the corners between the screens caused issues.

I found this online, I will try it later:

Shift-Command-D: Open the desktop folder.

Edit: it doesn't do anything on my MacBook

ah, yeah that sounds annoying. I think if it’s a MacBook you can also assign some of the 3 or 4 finger gestures to it
