KDE is good but please, for the love of god KDE devs, you need to realize that some people...a lot of people actually....use more than one monitor.
Whenever I use Plasma I feel like I spend more time getting my windows arranged correctly across both my monitors with different workspaces. if each monitor had it's own set of virtual desktops then it would be the perfect DE.
One thing I found, coming from multi-monitor macOS to Kubuntu, was having to adjust to both desktops sliding left/right at the same time. I still don't really like how it effectively shuts off applications that aren't on the active desktop, and kinda puts a barrier between work spaces.
With a Mac, I have a regular desktop on one screen, with full screen applications on the other, which I can swipe between as much as I like. I miss not being able to do that in Linux.
Well, that's actually one of the new features of Plasma 6.6, which is releasing this month. You might have to wait a while on Kubuntu, but if you're on something like Fedora, then you should see it probably before the end of the month. :)
Kubuntu 25.10 seems to update pretty quickly, so I'll look forward to seeing it.
