I can barely keep track of my one desktop what are people doing with multiple desktops?
for work i have to have like 3 PDFs open, my IDE, a browser, etc.
it's nice being able just switch to a clean desktop to browse the internet or write an email without messing up my window placement or getting lost in a bunch of layers.
First desktop for work/study related windows another for research/info related windows and third one for chill/media related windows, sometimes you work on more than two documents at the same time and researching theme with timeouts for chill so multiple desktops is very useful
music can stay on one workspace
work on another
messenger on another.
my alt-tab is always in the right order, and accessing specific functions like music or messaging is a whole other key sequence and muscle memory.
