My little brother came up with this meme. A little outdated but it was a chance to show him how to make stuff like that!

Virtual desktops: KDE / Wikipedia / Gnome

TLDR: If you don't want your desktop to be a mess, you can spawn applications in different virtual desktops, and switch between them.

Windows has had them since 10 (and obviously far earlier via 3rd party).

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 11 points 10 months ago

Yes, 15 years after everyone else (hence 3rd party).

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

Neat.

[-] frokie@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

And macos since much earlier!

If Windows 10 had the feature since 2015 (first W10 release) that would be at least 3 years after Gnome; Earliest mention I can find and that's worst case scenario for Gnome.

As for KDE Plasma it had those since at least 4.2.0, Plasma 4.2.0 announcment that version was released in 2009.

Gnome 2 had virtual desktops

[-] Limitless_screaming@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

I don't know much about Gnome's history, that's why I used the earliest mention I could find.

KDE Plasma may have had it before 4.2.0 too, but I cannot find KDE 3, 2, or 1 announcements. Most likely because of the name change.

KDE had them back in the 90s. They had to - virtual desktops were a feature of pretty much any window manager more complicated than TWM. They'd have been laughed at if they didn't.
