i'm curious! do you use workspaces (multiple desktops) in your os of choice?
@thingywott im on macos rn, so you get a mac os result, but i do gur same on linux/windows, one is colleg work, one is webbrowser/terminal and then gur other is everything else!
(on macos you can kinda trick it into letting you have different backgrounds on each one, which i wish was a fully qualified feature)
@bx ooh, nice!
@thingywott i used to use them a lot because there was a tiling wm that did them how i like where each screen shows a different workspace and can be switched independently
then i got tired of fighting with tiling
@codl oh, huh! i didn't even think about how that combines with tiling
i still haven't really touched any tiling wms
@thingywott I use them but only on macOS, both because it's the only OS doing them right and because it's a laptop where it just makes sense
@thingywott that said, I usually just have a desktop and a fullscreen browser
@noiob oh! how does it do them..?
@thingywott side-by-side with an option to put one or two apps fullscreen into a Space. There's side-swipe gestures to switch between them. Also when you open Mission Control you can see your Spaces, rearrange them, move windows between Spaces, move windows into fullscreen/splitscreen mode and move Spaces between screens, and switching Spaces on one monitor doesn't switch them on another https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204100
@noiob oh! that does seem pretty handy~
it's definitely true that moving windows between workspaces in some things can be a paaaaain
not sure if i'd use side by side workspaces much though
huh! that's a higher ratio using it than i expected
(i wonder how much of that is from how they are a part of the default paradigm of linux desktops?)
