Just switched whole-hog from windows to Budgie and I’m very impressed so far.

I’m curious if there are alternatives to the the default alt-tab interface though? Just wondering if there’s something with more pizzazz.

I am using Pocillo-dark theme in case that’s related.

Open your menu and search for previews. If you enable that, this will change the alt tab interface.

I will quickly add - I had to `apt install budgie-previews`, it wasn’t present already for whatever reason. But yes, much more modern appearance.

Hmm… i think you probably did a minimal install rather than a regular install.
