I use Linux for both work code development and at home for years and do
not have a single application that has multiple windows, with main
windows to be pinned down while others are opened.  Libreoffice has an
option for a floating navigation window but then it can also be
incorporated into the main window.

Of course, I use multiple desktops.  I use them since maybe 15 years
now.  One console has the email client, another one has Mixbus 32C.  A
synth in Mixbus will be moved to its own desktop so that it's easy to
switch between the synth and the DAW.  Renoise will be on its own
desktop, Bitwig also, so on so forth.

So I do not see what your "almost everything" would be.

The tabbed options in Zebra2, for one, are certainly very useful and
easy to access.
