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.

Ability to pin applications to the taskbar depending on which virtual desktop/workspace you are in. For example, I'd like a coding desktop that just has an ide, browser, and terminal.
Kde has Activities where you can group apps in a similar way.
That sounds amazing. Checking it out now!
It's not perfect though, but I kind of like it myself. It feels like it could be even better, and it's a start of a great idea, and just needs some more love. :)
Sway allows you to assign apps to workspaces.
yeah any wm or de has or should have that capability. Windows and mac allow that as well. I'm talking about specifically which apps are pinned to your taskbar. which sway and most wms that I'm aware of don't have
Ah, sorry, now I get it! I didn't read properly. And using KDE Activities would be a bit to overkill perhaps.
Isnt that possible under Linux Mint, or am I wrong?
Not that I'm aware of. Cinnamon is based off of gnome which I believe lacks this functionality as well. happy to be corrected though
If you use gnome with dash to bar or something like that you can desite in the extetion. And if I remember correctly muffin support it as well
Sweet! I'm going to put in my list to check out.
