Man, I’ve been running i3 at home for years and using Windows for work kills my efficiency so hard. Lemme have my billion virtual desktops and move tiles in half a second so I can stop dragging shit all over! I do use PowerToys to help a bit but it’s just not the same when you’re used to a kwyboard-centric workflow.

Different vd is different workspace for me. One for project x the next for y, one for gaming…
I use multiple workspaces for different workflows. CAD software, reference material, etc. on one workspace, email, Slack, Trello etc. open on another.
