    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.
