    Not sure exactly how the Linux multiple desktops work but windows is able to do this also, unless I’m confusing it for something else

      You are. What you’re talking about are virtual desktops or virtual workspaces.

      I said “desktop environments”, which is a specific thing in Linux. It’s the GUI and suite of tools that come with it. They all tend to have a usecase in mind and different philosophy. There’s Gnome, KDE Plasma, xfce, lxde, Budgie, Cinnamon, Sway, and a whole bunch more that I can’t remember.
