Can someone tell me why I am so reluctant to use workspaces under Linux at home? 30 years ago, I was using CDE under AIX and loved that I had 4 workspaces in it, I could organize what I was working on and not have a screen with it all cluttered together. When I was forced to switch to Windows at work, I found a multiple workspace tool for it that I tried hard to get to work well enough to be used daily (it failed on multiple Windows systems, I kept losing access to all but the current workspace). I ended up getting a second Windows system, and using VNC to access both with one being the primary (I didn't have a PC KVM back then). In 2006, I was laid off and that was the end of my having access to CDE.

Today I run multiple different distros at home on multiple systems. And on all of them, I keep forgetting / ignoring that they have have at least two workspaces so I can spread out what I am running. But even on the single monitor systems, I keep only using one workspace. What the heck happened to me??
