I don't see how any of this happens all the time. If I were to maximize terminal and IDE/Browser I won't see those things either.


You are likely more used to it than i am. Thing is even if i maximize my terminal on windows or mac, how much can i actually do without switching context to get some things done. Switching between software is also not what i consider distructing. Its the how, the discovery of files and software, the switching between windows, switching between possibly dozens of windows of the same kind. How many key strokes are some actions away? (Given mac is a lot better in this degree than windows).

Some approaches on linux, be it gnome or kde or tiled solutions are just so much more efficient


You've just described it, you need intermediate step of maximizing. You can get away from distraction for a while.
