No, I don't use virtual desktops.
I’m choosing to vote no because I haven’t needed them recently. I usually rely on them only when juggling multiple projects at once, to avoid confusing the settings for each task. It’s especially frustrating when I mix Psychology papers with Computer Science work—it really isn’t enjoyable.
I use it to organize my work into manageable parts. It keeps my task list concise so I don’t clutter it or switch between windows I’m not using. I can launch a project with all open windows and pause it later to focus on another task. It lets me pick up right where I left off.
I rely on my laptop because its display is compact. On my desktop, I have ample room and don’t need virtual desktops. Both systems run Linux, which adds flexibility.
No more. I used to rely on it because I needed to run certain Windows 98/XP programs, but now I have separate machines for that.
I use my laptop mostly, but on my desktop I have three 27-inch monitors, which means the screen space isn’t an issue (That’s a lie—I really need more.)
I don’t rely on Windows, yet I definitely value virtual desktops. Running an operating system without them wouldn’t work.
I’ve never required anything like this before. I can quickly switch tabs using Win+Tab or Alt+Tab.
