Yes. Another nice trick (not RISC OS, AFAIK) is tabbing windows. See the Fluxbox X11 window manager. However, it's not an easily discovered feature.
And given the fact how-g'dafwul-many people keep all their windows maximized, back-to-stack is virtually indistinguishable from minimization for that subset of users.
A genuinely useful feature, and discoverable at that, is window shading/rollup. That is easy to understand.

@datenwolf@chaos.social @tokyo_0@mas.to Cough! Rolling up wasn't intuitive the first time I encountered it. As XFCE, unlike RISC OS opens windows directly above each other. The title bar of a rolled up window that still has focus can look like it belongs to the window beneath it. Took me a few minutes to work that out and ever since I have configured the Linux desktops I use such that the rollup button is on the title bar so I can un-roll it. RISC OS IIRC staggers overlapping windows when you open a new one.
