In Windows you can do this too by default, without the need to install nothing. In the setting you can create several desktops or monitors, separate or continuos. By default Windows include a lot of features, even speech to text or command, you can create your own fonts with a tool that Windows has by default (eudcedit) and a ton of other tools it has.
That Linux can do more than Windows is nonsense, this isn’t the advantage Linux has, en both you can do way more than you ever need.
You are. What you’re talking about are virtual desktops or virtual workspaces.
I said “desktop environments”, which is a specific thing in Linux. It’s the GUI and suite of tools that come with it. They all tend to have a usecase in mind and different philosophy. There’s Gnome, KDE Plasma, xfce, lxde, Budgie, Cinnamon, Sway, and a whole bunch more that I can’t remember.
No, nothing like that. It can seem that way from a quick glance, but there’s so much more under the surface.
It’s such a large change under the surface that sometimes the exact same system, but with a different DE is considered its own distro, but usually they’re called spins.
It already can. It can even run a huge amount of Windows-only software.
In fact, Linux can do way more than Windows can (like installing multiple desktop environments and switching between them as you like).

Not sure exactly how the Linux multiple desktops work but windows is able to do this also, unless I’m confusing it for something else

So it’s basically themes and preset packs of apps?

KDE Plasma exist also for Windows and even MacOS. https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/khelpcenter/fundamentals/install.html
Well now, that’s certainly something I didn’t expect!
Although the site for the Windows installer doesn’t work
