I use multiple workspaces for different workflows. CAD software, reference material, etc. on one workspace, email, Slack, Trello etc. open on another.
Comment on It's painful to not be able to see everything at once.

The constant swap between virtual desktops is a pain
However I do wish material shell (tiling) treated separate monitors as separate virtual desktops so I could swap left>right and up>down

Different vd is different workspace for me. One for project x the next for y, one for gaming…

Man, I’ve been running i3 at home for years and using Windows for work kills my efficiency so hard. Lemme have my billion virtual desktops and move tiles in half a second so I can stop dragging shit all over! I do use PowerToys to help a bit but it’s just not the same when you’re used to a kwyboard-centric workflow.

And when you have to have everything on the one small screen, outlook gets buried and you miss notifications
Working from home I only miss notifications because I’m making coffee

You might be able to run WSL and just run a tiling wm/compositor inside that, depending on what it is you do and whether the company would allow WSL

Unfortunately we’re pretty locked down, and it’s not a big enough deal to me to force the issue with our super cool InfoSec team.
