From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’ve actualy went from 3 monitors to a single monitor with ton of virtual desktops. On KDE I felt very limited with just 1 screen though.
I treat virtual desktop as a “WM” basically … one or two windows per desktop and I switch between them rapidly either with key shortcut, mouse wheel in top left corner or combined depending on what I’m doing. And when I say rapidly I mean usually multiple times per minute… it’s just so seamless.
This does not work on KDE, it’s too slow and buggy for this workflow.
