    Kind of. Not sure what’s out there now but circa 2008 there were Linux distros with multiple virtual desktops each with their own virtual desktop. So you could have one with 3 virtual desktops of its own, another with 3 different virtual desktops of its own, and so forth. Good for true power users but it could get confusing fast.

      Virtual desktops on X go back a lot further than that. First X11 implementation was in 1990 with vtwm. The Amiga 1000 had it for their systems in 1985.

        The Amiga had the ability to have multiple video screens that you could drag down and even display partially at the same time in different video modes, which was impressive. I don’t recall virtual desktops but I suppose Workbench had that, idk.

        Anyway I was just referring to my experience with workspaces/multiple virtual desktops in KDE or whatever.
