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.
Nobara may well use a non-stock configuration, but by default a three-finger swipe left or right on the trackpad will switch between workspaces. As for keyboard shortcuts, I believe they are disabled by default but you can always set your own by going to settings > keyboard shortcuts > navigation > switch to workspace on the left/right.
tiling window managers with multiple desktops is such a productivity boost and makes single screen work effortless. I don’t think I’ll ever use a traditional floating window os again
I use Xfce for my media laptop and was wondering why anyone would use virtual desktops when the buttons on the top panel are so tiny and annoying to click
Then I recently found out you can move your cursor all the way to the left or right edge and scroll with your mouse wheel to switch virtual desktops.
Made me consider actually using virtual desktops lol
I had that and had to explain to the department why 6 monitors essentially (3 physical monitors with 2 virtual desktops on each) was not the same as 6 other monitors (2 physical monitors with 3 virtual desktops on each).
Virtual desktops are a lifesaver, 3 finger swipe on the trackpad to go to the next screen
I need to be able to see what I’m referencing while working
The constant swap between virtual desktops is a pain
However I do wish material shell (tiling) treated separate monitors as separate virtual desktops so I could swap left>right and up>down

I use multiple workspaces for different workflows. CAD software, reference material, etc. on one workspace, email, Slack, Trello etc. open on another.
I just tested if it works on GNOME, did couple swipes trying until I realized I have disabled trackpad in bios >.>
Rip lol. I don’t think it works in gnome, I almost put that in my comment lol. It works in mint, but I’m not even sure if it’s in base ubuntu.
Stock Gnome has this too.
Huh, I haven’t really gotten it to work very well in nobara, do you know what the keyboard shortcuts would be?

Thank you!

Win+scroll wheel works on GNOME btw
Good to know, I’ll have to try that too

There’s a lot of keyboard and gesture shortcuts that make them easier to use on most OS’s

Both!
