Switching is when the current fronter(s) of the system changes.
This can vary between something that happens constantly, or by accident, to something that requires much effort or happens only once a day or once a week. The experience of what switching is like also varies between systems.
Switching can also take varying amounts of time, which can sometimes result in blend states in the in-between time.
