I use windows for work, and I just had to update to Win 11 when I got a new PC.

Jesus Christ I hate it.

So many fundamental parts of my workflow have been disrupted. I have yet to find one change which I actually like.

I thought they did a pretty good job with Windows 10, but this one is five steps backwards.

Learning the shortcuts for multiple workspaces was a game changer for me in Windows.

Win + Ctrl + D to create a new virtual desktop

Win + Ctrl + ArrowRight or ArrowLeft to move to the next desktop

Win + Tab to arrange all Windows and desktops

Also dragging your window to the top to place it in a corner seems nice.

At home I'll always use Linux but for a work PC I can live with Windows.

But imagine, if you could just press win+number and then go to the exact workspace you want! Which KDE Plasma allows you to do.

I seriously cant get used to using win+ctrl+arrows. If i could change this, and with powertoys windows would not be that bad.

There's something called SylphyHorn that helps sort out some of this. Unfortunately for me it's broken on my work computer because of something in their security software.
