To make this clear, UNIX/Linux are not FreeWindowsWithLessBugs(tm). If you look at the ways they differ from Windows and think, "I can use that feature to solve problems," then maybe Linux is for you.
The difference is as much in philosophy as anything. Windows provides the bare minimum of features and expects you to buy upgrades and proprietary programs to make up the difference. Linux has most features available by default, more robustly and with more options, with a less polished interface,
Creating disk images in Windows: Feature removed in 199x when it stopped being DOS, so dish out the moolah for a proprietary implementation.
Creating disk images in UNIX: Disks are literally files, so any command-line utility capable of reading files can deal with disks. Nonetheless there's a variety of tools. It's a bad idea to use them while the partition's being written to, but we can't stop you.
Burning CDROM images in Windows: We added this feature 20 years too late and nobody cares any more.
Burning CDROM images in UNIX: A flagship feature since 1996.
etc.
GUI-wise, Linux/Unix seem to be trying hard to imitate Windows these days. But the GUI is only skin-deep, not deeply integrated.

xunmapsubwindows
XUnmapWindow(3X11) MIT X11R4 XUnmapWindow(3X11)
Name
XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows
Syntax
XUnmapWindow(display, w)
Display *display;
Window w;
XUnmapSubwindows(display, w)
Display *display;
Window w;
Arguments
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
w Specifies the window.
Description
The function unmaps the specified window and causes the X server to generate an event. If the specified window is already unmapped, has no
effect. Normal exposure processing on formerly obscured windows is performed. Any child window will no longer be visible until another
map call is made on the parent. In other words, the subwindows are still mapped but are not visible until the parent is mapped. Unmapping
a window will generate events on windows that were formerly obscured by it.
can generate a error.
The function unmaps all subwindows for the specified window in bottom-to-top stacking order. It causes the X server to generate an event
on each subwindow and events on formerly obscured windows. Using this function is much more efficient than unmapping multiple windows one
at a time because the server needs to perform much of the work only once, for all of the windows, rather than for each window.
can generate a error.
Diagnostics
A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
