I have no idea, all i know is gnome i can scroll through by holding super and scrolling or swiping with 3 fingers i can’t. Sway i can press super and a number and get to a workspace. KDE i can only get to by approaching the corner. Which would be fine if it didn’t sandbox apps to the workspace. I like being able to click terminal and go to terminal workspace or firefox and go to firefox workspace but that doesn’t seem to be how things work in KDE. I’m sure theres a setting but I can’t be arsed to deal with it.
I haven’t had any issues. Are you conflating the switch from X11 to Wayland with Workspaces, or do you have a problem with the multi-monitor support in 6.6?
I have no idea. I just dipped my toes into KDE again this weekend. This isn’t going to sound good for Gnome but a gdm3 update on debian sid broke it. Needed a desktop so i tried KDE again. Everything i can find seems to indicate I should be able to switch desktops by holding super and scrolling or hitting a number but i can’t. I can get to workspaces if i move cursor to top left. Though those might be something called “activites” since they are sandboxes from each other.
Other than that I have KDE on steamdeck and “steam machine” connected to tv and its fine because i rarely use it for anything other than web browsing anything else I need to do on those are more easily done via ssh. I’ve never attempted to use workspaces on either since they are more gaming/video devices for me.
Oh, I see! The setting you are looking for is called “Virtual Desktops.” They aren’t created dynamically, but are meant to be created and configured for different workflows so they are always there. You just need to add some!
Add new ones from System Settings / Virtual Desktops. Once you have some created, you will have a grid of desktops you can switch between uaing Super + Ctrl + Arrows or by using the Pager widget.
For me KDE6 has broken workspaces and thag is unacceptable. Gnome just works (after installing 20 extensions)
I’ve only just switched to KDE in the last 6 months or so, how did workspaces used to work?
