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

Unfortunately we're pretty locked down, and it's not a big enough deal to me to force the issue with our super cool InfoSec team.

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

Different vd is different workspace for me. One for project x the next for y, one for gaming...

I just tested if it works on GNOME, did couple swipes trying until I realized I have disabled trackpad in bios >.>

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.

Huh, I haven't really gotten it to work very well in nobara, do you know what the keyboard shortcuts would be?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nobara may well use a non-stock configuration, but by default a three-finger swipe left or right on the trackpad will switch between workspaces. As for keyboard shortcuts, I believe they are disabled by default but you can always set your own by going to settings > keyboard shortcuts > navigation > switch to workspace on the left/right.

Win+scroll wheel works on GNOME btw

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Good to know, I'll have to try that too

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

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
