Two DeskTops ! ................ What do you use yours for?

[chrispop99]

I've used three workspaces for years. One has a web browser on it, one an email client, and the third for everything else.

It's much faster over the course of a day to just switch between them when needed.

Putting new paper in that printer seems like hell

Hyperbole aside, it's an illusion from the camera angle. It's changed since then, and is now under the desk.

Ah, here's a more recent pic.

Hey, Dude:

I don't mean to "out" you, but I.R.L., are you "Gilfoyle" ???

Just for the record, LOVE your setup

Same here...
Typically, alpha for the web browser, beta for mail client, gamma for file manager & audio player, delta for anything else...

I would use a second desktop workspace if running a virtual machine...preferably a second monitor.

I gradually increased the number of Workspaces over my first 4 years until I ended up with 6. This has been my standard for the last 5 years. I find it easier to roll the mouse button to switch programs than select an icon.

My standard arrangement is 1 for the file utility, 2 for email client, 3 for the browser, 4 for whatever my main project is (document, spreadsheet, music score, audio file, etc). I keep 5 to run anything else short term and 6 for VirtualBox.

Do you mean like this?

Not exactly - or at least mine didn't look like that!
But conceptually, yes.

You second picture - did you get a new printer accessory - - the weed wacker paper shredder?

Do you people have your "workspace programs" automatically open to a specific workspace?
And if you do, how do you accomplish that?

I could never get that to work reliably with Xfce.

Sorry you could not get it to work with Xfce. I've been using Xfce since I switch from Mephis to MX and have never fail to get it to work.

Yes - "Save session for future logins" does most of it. Vivaldi doesn't open, but when started it opens in the correct position.

@Gaer Boy Thanks for hitting me over the head with the obvious.
I have NEVER used "Save session for future logins", not once!
I'll have to try that.

@towwire Thanks for absolutely confirming that it will work.

For both, because, I knew workspaces were very handy, but for some reason it never occurred to me to open programs in specific workspaces – perhaps because I didn't know that it was possible.

Thanks again, I'll be using that soon.
