I am a "messy desk" person and like to have a big open visual space for all the pseudo-temporary files belonging to whatever project I'm working on at a given time. It would be nice to have a workspace specifically dedicated for "work" and still be able to create a fresh one when needed, without having to "put all the work stuff away" first. I've found GNOME extensions that allow different wallpapers, which is great, but I would love to have an actual separate desktop, not just windows.

Bonus points if I could change the dock applications and GTK theme too.

Running Ubuntu 22.04, btw.

I guess maybe I don't understand what workspaces are? Because I've been operating under the assumption that I've been using multiple workspaces with GNOME for a long time now.

Are you saying the GNOME update in April will each workspace to have it's own unique desktop folder?

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.
