From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't really get this but I'm going to assume it's that my workflow is just different than yours.
I have keyboard shortcuts I'm happy with that let me navigate my virtual desktops as desired and place widows on them. If I wasn't happy with those shortcuts I could change them. I can see having different preferences, or etc, but what makes it a hot mess exactly?
When I Alt-tab it always goes to the apps open on the next desktop, and never shows the apps on the current desktop. So, say I have Vivaldi and KWrite on desktop 1, and Brave and LibreOffice Calc on desktop 2.
If I'm on desktop 1 on Vivaldi and Alt-tab, it'll move to Desktop 2 and move between Brave and Calc, and but will never show anything from Desktop 1, until I release the Alt key and Alt-tab again.
Now, for me it's even worse since I have 3 Desktops instead of 2.
Have you dug into the options at all? If I'm visualizing what you are describing correctly, I think spending some time here should solve your issues.
edit - specifically the options in the lower right
