How this is good for Mircosoft though? It makes sense if they want to do it opt-out, but the only reason why I can think of they don't want it to get removed at all to sell data

Sorry I saw it earlier but I forgot to respond. Named workspaces are always active, and they stay in place regardless if there is a window there or not.

I feel like you are missing something because I can directly hop around one of my ten workspaces with a single click, without a need of scrolling through the workspaces between. What I do is to create ten named workspaces in startup (I actually only use like five of them but let's ignore that). Then I can still navigate them by the index number. I don't use regular workspaces enitrely in my setup.

Note: I only use a single monitor and never move workspaces up or down so I don't know the experience there.

Also, the fact that you can edit COSMIC through config files is a game changer. Although I don't really like the tiling layout style, sometimes I want something easy to setup like GNOME but with good autotiling

Niri has a way to have named workspaces now which basically act like persistent workspaces, so you don't have to use dynamic workspaces system. I really like niri and have it as my daily driver

This is what I did, and it did its goal in making me comfortable using Linux. However, like what others suggest, live USB is probably much more easier honestly.
