KDE Workspaces

KDE is a particular desktop for Linux, and by far my favorite. One of the sorest grievances I have in other desktops, like Ubuntu’s Unity or Gnome, is the absence of such effective workspace management, like the fully customizable workspace grid. In the picture you see my social media/phone interface in one workspace, my general project list and schedule in the next, another workspace dedicated to the artificial intelligence debugging I’m working on with code, debugger, and accessory programs; my active browser for help lookup in another; and the program manual for said project in yet another work space. Navigating the workspaces is a breeze; I use the equivalent of WIN+arrow to move relatively, or another hotkey I set up to say, for example, “go to workspace 2.” Moving windows between workspaces is similarly easy. Of course, some people’s solution to complex project/workflow management is to get multiple huge screens. But I find that this is both cognitively cleaner (usually just one project per workspace), and a whole lot cheaper. It fits my laptop workflow very nicely. Linux Distro: Fedora 20 with KDE desktop
