1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

Learning the shortcuts for multiple workspaces was a game changer for me in Windows.
Win + Ctrl + D to create a new virtual desktop
Win + Ctrl + ArrowRight or ArrowLeft to move to the next desktop
Win + Tab to arrange all Windows and desktops
Also dragging your window to the top to place it in a corner seems nice.
At home I'll always use Linux but for a work PC I can live with Windows.
Until you use a Microsoft office application and it is fundamentally broken with virtual desktops. If you try to open a document on one desktop it'll switch to another if you had a different document open. There's little glitches throughout the entire experience that make it so mediocre.
But imagine, if you could just press win+number and then go to the exact workspace you want! Which KDE Plasma allows you to do.
I seriously cant get used to using win+ctrl+arrows. If i could change this, and with powertoys windows would not be that bad.
There's something called SylphyHorn that helps sort out some of this. Unfortunately for me it's broken on my work computer because of something in their security software.
