The independent virtual desktop per screen in KDE 6.7, Cosmic, and macOS(which I’m pretty sure has had it working like that the longest) was really such a game changer for me. The all screens changin was always so awkward.

And coupling it with a mouse that has a center-left and center-right click on its scrolling wheel which get remapped to switch desktop in the respective directions is silky smooth.

I did like the tiling in Cosmic a lot though and wouldn’t mind incorporating it into a single desktop or screen.
