From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[Plasma 6] How to get virtual desktops to behave like MacOS “Spaces” (lemm.ee)

macOS Spaces (virtual desktop) allows the user to have multiple desktops PER MONITOR. When a user switches a space, it’s not the entire set of monitors, just the one they are in.

Is there a way to do this in Plasma 6, or… even GNOME?

This is unfortunately stupidly difficult on most Linux desktops, because the EWMH standard doesn't support it. You mostly find support for it in niche desktops, like various tiling WMs or the Enlightenment DE.
