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.
GNOME now supports multiple workspaces, so update to Ubuntu 24.04 when it comes out in April (or now to 23.10, you do you).
If you do that, I recommend the Desktop Cube GNOME extension. It gives some sick animations and 3D effects to the workspace switcher.
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?
