Launching Windows 11 in the midst of a semiconductor shortage was such a dumb move on Microsoft’s part, especially when 11 doesn’t really offer that much more than 10. The only real ‘groundbreaking’ new feature (multiple desktops) was something that Linux had fifteen years ago.

what are you talking about?
if you mean virtual as the others think, both linux and windows have had that for 20 years. if you mean something else I really really want to know.
anyway it also has better wsl (backported to 10 eventually), generally better performance and battery life, etc. it also had a mac dock that prevented me from doing the upgrade for 3 years lol.
First desktop for work/study related windows another for research/info related windows and third one for chill/media related windows, sometimes you work on more than two documents at the same time and researching theme with timeouts for chill so multiple desktops is very useful
for work i have to have like 3 PDFs open, my IDE, a browser, etc.
it’s nice being able just switch to a clean desktop to browse the internet or write an email without messing up my window placement or getting lost in a bunch of layers.

even windows xp had it with microsoft’s powertoys’ virtual desktop manager

Is “multiple desktops” different from virtual desktops? Because i’ve been using virtual desktops in Windows 10 for a while now.
I can barely keep track of my one desktop what are people doing with multiple desktops?

music can stay on one workspace
work on another
messenger on another.
my alt-tab is always in the right order, and accessing specific functions like music or messaging is a whole other key sequence and muscle memory.
