Virtual desktops are a lifesaver, 3 finger swipe on the trackpad to go to the next screen
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.
Stock Gnome has this too.
Huh, I haven’t really gotten it to work very well in nobara, do you know what the keyboard shortcuts would be?
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
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 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
Both!
I could go from 3 to 2, but no way in hell I’m going back to a 14" eye destroyer. Not when generic 24" monitors are cheap and have adequate refresh rates for most tasks.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
I don’t know if I would want to do it all the time, but I have come to appreciate the workflow when using a single monitor. I feel like I’m more focused.
I use three monitors and could use a fourth one (ultra wide) for some specific tasks, meanwhile my colleague that does the same job is working from a 13" laptop screen sitting on a cushion at her coffee table…
Luckily we have portable monitors now for when you’re away from your dock
I specifically trained myself away from it when I went to working remote. I don’t want to be tied to my desk when I could spend my day at the park, beach, coffee shop, bar, on a boat, or Disneyland and still get work done.
me too, thx
I have a portable monitor just in case and I bust it out if there’s no monitor for me to plug in.
It’s too early to call me out like this man, I’m not caffeinated.

Ya know if a company is gonna have you work from home they should be paying for your whole office set up :| desk, chair, monitors etc. At least the materials you need.
This was never not the case for me.
In CRT era there was just no contest, the resolution (the amount of data displayed) alone was worlds apart. Yet I only ever had one CRT connected at a time.
Once the LCDs became minimally viable for me I just never disconnected the previous LCD when upgrading/buying another one (I’ve always been a “main screen + support screens” sort of operator).
Finally LCDs and OLEDs became just too big (and tiling much much better) to have “too many” monitors.
Yet there are times when I wish I had a mini monitor (one of those candy bar screens where I would just have Signal or something, about 480×1920 pixels, they are cheap but I then remember how silly the need is and don’t want to further consumerism for needles thighs).I was using dual monitors back before LCDs became the norm. I always had a splitting headache from looking at the screens. It went away with LCDs.
