I am a “messy desk” person and like to have a big open visual space for all the pseudo-temporary files belonging to whatever project I’m working on at a given time. It would be nice to have a workspace specifically dedicated for “work” and still be able to create a fresh one when needed, without having to “put all the work stuff away” first. I’ve found GNOME extensions that allow different wallpapers, which is great, but I would love to have an actual separate desktop, not just windows.
Bonus points if I could change the dock applications and GTK theme too.
Running Ubuntu 22.04, btw.
You should be able to do this on Plasma with Activities.
Would this mean switching to Kubuntu? (still kinda new to this world)
It can mean that, but you can also install it on normal Ubuntu.
For the whole enchilada,
sudo apt install kde-full
If youre going to be switching distros anyways, I recommend tuxedoOS, it’s based on Ubuntu but does a few thing to make it a better experience.

Workspaces? Don’t recall if it has its own icons

I’m pretty sure you can do it on Trinity and XFCE
Thought about creating another user?
Yeaaaah, likely the route I’ll take.
Ever looked in to window managers?
No, what’s that?
