From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How many others are loving the "per-screen virtual desktops" feature introduced with 6.7?
It seems there's a small (?) contingent of people who've been clamouring for this ever since multi-monitor setups became commonplace. Then there's a whole nother load of people who don't care.
Do many people here even use multiple workspaces? I know many just have all apps open on the visible workspace and alt-tab between them.
I need to try that. I used to use multiple workspaces all the time. Then I started having to remote into windows for work, so i got more monitors. Now I use multiple workspaces a lot less.
I always found it weird: if I was on linux a single monitor was more than enough because I have multiple work spaces. Whereas on windows, I need multiple monitors. Windows: always the worst way to accomplish anything.
I would have a use for it at $DAYJOB, but unfortunately my work laptop is on an ancient version of Ubuntu, so gonna be a few more years before I can use it...
