Virtual desktops are a lifesaver, 3 finger swipe on the trackpad to go to the next screen

I need to be able to see what I’m referencing while working

The constant swap between virtual desktops is a pain

However I do wish material shell (tiling) treated separate monitors as separate virtual desktops so I could swap left>right and up>down

Man, I’ve been running i3 at home for years and using Windows for work kills my efficiency so hard. Lemme have my billion virtual desktops and move tiles in half a second so I can stop dragging shit all over! I do use PowerToys to help a bit but it’s just not the same when you’re used to a kwyboard-centric workflow.

And when you have to have everything on the one small screen, outlook gets buried and you miss notifications

Working from home I only miss notifications because I’m making coffee

You might be able to run WSL and just run a tiling wm/compositor inside that, depending on what it is you do and whether the company would allow WSL

I use multiple workspaces for different workflows. CAD software, reference material, etc. on one workspace, email, Slack, Trello etc. open on another.

Rip lol. I don’t think it works in gnome, I almost put that in my comment lol. It works in mint, but I’m not even sure if it’s in base ubuntu.

tiling window managers with multiple desktops is such a productivity boost and makes single screen work effortless. I don’t think I’ll ever use a traditional floating window os again

I had that and had to explain to the department why 6 monitors essentially (3 physical monitors with 2 virtual desktops on each) was not the same as 6 other monitors (2 physical monitors with 3 virtual desktops on each).

I use Xfce for my media laptop and was wondering why anyone would use virtual desktops when the buttons on the top panel are so tiny and annoying to click

Then I recently found out you can move your cursor all the way to the left or right edge and scroll with your mouse wheel to switch virtual desktops.

Made me consider actually using virtual desktops lol

There’s a lot of keyboard and gesture shortcuts that make them easier to use on most OS’s
