  WINNER: Virtual desktops
- Watch a full screen movie while you do something on another monitor. Virtual desktops can't do that.
  
  How do you keep your concentration on two monitors? When I had two monitors, I put black wallpaper on the second monitor because the usual ones distracted me
  
  I'm either immersed or i multitask. You can do both?
  Then again, my sis Works on her notebook while reading a magazine while watching tv while listening music on the smartphone she uses to chatt. Pure stress to me.
  
  You must be an Accelerated Learning Experience enthusiast.
  
  Picture in picture mode
  
  You can pin the movie to all desktops in one monitor, and combine the powers of the virtual desktops, and the other monitor(s)
  
  Watch a full screen movie while you do something on another monitor.
  Just pause the movie, do the thing, and then go back to watching the movie.
- If you're developing and want a live display of your program, nothing beats a second monitor to see your progress live if you want to see the progress on your computer.
  Other cases %100 agree
  
  And a third monitor for the documentation
  
  A really large monitor?
  
  A ultra wide monitor beats it imo
- Yes, so much easier to switch between two desktops than having them actually visible at the same time.
I used to have 9 in a 3x3 grid in Plasma, so I could always reach any workspace in two or less touchpad swipes.
- That's the way i do it and i think it's the absolute best setup. I use keyboard shortcuts to switch and move windows though.
  used too
  Have you evolved even further?!
  
  I'm on Hyprland now, which has more GNOME-like workspaces (created when needed)
- I have it on Ctrl+F1-F12. Limitted to 12 but i rarely need more than 5.
Love the original Watch Dogs
- Such a fun game. I doubt the current ubisoft could create a comparable game. 2 was great for the size of it but felt a little lackluster in immersion, Legion was... ubisoft "capture zone, unlock tower" but cyberpunk-adjacent.
  
  The sequel disappointed me greatly. Haven't even played Legion. The original story was so captivating and emotional. Took my by surprise and I was so invested in it.
  
  I gave up with ubisoft after seeing that ac mirage had the same level of graphical detail as the original ac, but with a worse campaign, and a higher system requirement
i have 9 desktops in hyprland but i use a max of like 4
But.. Why?
- Have you ever used more than one virtual desktops?
  
  Yes it's terrible
And I'm not going to use any of them!
- Your missing out on it then
