    Virtual desktops are superior to additional physical monitors. I’m fully prepared to die on this hill.

      Watch a full screen movie while you do something on another monitor. Virtual desktops can’t do that.

        How do you keep your concentration on two monitors? When I had two monitors, I put black wallpaper on the second monitor because the usual ones distracted me

        I’m either immersed or i multitask. You can do both?

        Then again, my sis Works on her notebook while reading a magazine while watching tv while listening music on the smartphone she uses to chatt. Pure stress to me.

          Yeah I can do both. Most movies are dialogue forward so I’m not always watching the screen. And then when there is a break in my game (loading screens, waiting for something to happen, mindless tasks) I can watch the screen. I only do it with games like Minecraft, Satisfactory, Cities Skylines, etc.

          Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

          Accelerated Learning Experience

          Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

          I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

        You can pin the movie to all desktops in one monitor, and combine the powers of the virtual desktops, and the other monitor(s)

          Oh yeah for sure I could use virtual desktops in addition. But a single monitor doesn’t accomplish what I said. Hence why I brought it up as a counter point.

            Why am I comparing moitors to virtual desktops?

            I don’t know


            Does it make sense?

            No


            Do i use my 2nd virtual desktop more than my 2nd monitor?

            Yes


            Am I lost in what I am trying to prove?

            Absolutely.

              did you even read the full thread which provides the context you’re neglecting?

              No.

        Watch a full screen movie while you do something on another monitor.

        Just pause the movie, do the thing, and then go back to watching the movie.

      If you’re developing and want a live display of your program, nothing beats a second monitor to see your progress live if you want to see the progress on your computer.

      Other cases %100 agree

      Yes, so much easier to switch between two desktops than having them actually visible at the same time.
