In Windows 11 there’s a button on the taskbar next to the start button that lets you switch between multiple desktop environments. It seems like something that would probably be useful in theory, but I can’t think of any reason why I would want to use it. Is it actually useful? What do people use it for?

    Oh wow, windows is finally getting that feature? Nice. As a mac user this one of these “how the hell do you not have this” features that really baffled me.

    I use them when I have to work on multiple projects at once (programming). Basically, I have a desktop per project with all the documents and programms open that I need for that project. It’s very convenient.

      I personally really like the way macOS handles multiple desktops and full-screen apps. Would love to recreate it in KDE.

        Just wait for Plasma 6.0, it’s already there available out-of-box (except auto creating new workspace for fullscreen window)
