hi everyone, using xfce(main desktop) doesn’t work, tried gnome and cinnamon and same thing. anyway know how to do this pls? thanks for reading.
edit: ty all 4 input, looks like the solution is with window managers.
KISS: Plug workstation 1 into monitor 1 and workstation 2 into monitor 2. Then use something like Synergy to share the keyboard and mouse between the computers.
For you and I, yes I agree there is a difference. For OP, who has not replied to any comment, maybe not.
Isn’t the whole workspace thing simply a software way to have multiple monitors into one which you can “look at” when you switch?
That’s sort of how herbstluftwm models it. Workspaces are called tags, and are areas windows can be arranged. Monitors are like SVG viewports, with dimensions; Herbst auto-manages physical monitors, but lets you define virtual monitors with arbitrary dimensions. Workspaces (tags) are displayed on monitors and windows are adjusted to the dimensions of the monitors as tags are moved around. Monitors can be overlayed… the terminology is counterintuitive (windows have tags, but can only have one tag at a time, and monitors can overlap, etc), but it’s a really nice way of approaching things IMO, and is one of the main reasons I’m sticking with X.
SwayWM, but I think any of those you mentioned should be able to do it?
What’s the workspace give you? A bare task bar?
I think maybe Enlightenment can do that, but I’m not sure.
Normally workspace definitions are systemwide not monitor specific. A workspace uses all monitors on the system.
