Divide screen each with it's own panel (lemmy.world)

Hi everybody!
I've just installed Kubuntu and I'm using Linux gui for the first time.
I have 2 4K screens, one horizontal and one vertical. With Windows I divide the horizontal one in 4 equal parts and the vertical in 3 parts so that all are almost 16:9 and each have it's own taskbar that's so useful to me because I know what I've opened in every virtual screen and if in virtual screen there is Outlook, but I need to take in foreground Chrome that I know it's there (but it's also in other screens), I can click on Chrome on the virtual screen 1 taskbar. If there are no multiple taskbar, I would have to click on Chrome on the main taskbar and select which window I need (which can be problematic because not always it's possible to see what's going on in the small preview).

Is this or something similar possible with KDE plasma (I'm on 6.1.5).

Thanks!

This is definitely not possible with base KDE. If you're using x11, you might be able to follow https://askubuntu.com/questions/1398508/split-a-widescreen-monitor-in-two but it's pretty fragile, and I'm not sure if KDE will respect those monitors.

Thanks, I'll look into it.
