Watch a full screen movie while you do something on another monitor. Virtual desktops can't do that.

How do you keep your concentration on two monitors? When I had two monitors, I put black wallpaper on the second monitor because the usual ones distracted me

I'm either immersed or i multitask. You can do both?

Then again, my sis Works on her notebook while reading a magazine while watching tv while listening music on the smartphone she uses to chatt. Pure stress to me.

Yeah I can do both. Most movies are dialogue forward so I'm not always watching the screen. And then when there is a break in my game (loading screens, waiting for something to happen, mindless tasks) I can watch the screen. I only do it with games like Minecraft, Satisfactory, Cities Skylines, etc.

Full screen

Watch a full screen movie while you do something on another monitor.

Just pause the movie, do the thing, and then go back to watching the movie.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah I guess you could do something completely different than what I said.

You can pin the movie to all desktops in one monitor, and combine the powers of the virtual desktops, and the other monitor(s)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah for sure I could use virtual desktops in addition. But a single monitor doesn't accomplish what I said. Hence why I brought it up as a counter point.

Why am I comparing moitors to virtual desktops?

I don't know

Does it make sense?

No

Do i use my 2nd virtual desktop more than my 2nd monitor?

Yes

Am I lost in what I am trying to prove?

Absolutely.

did you even read the full thread which provides the context you're neglecting?

No.
