alt Hacker NewsI've always (KDE, GNOME, niri) used a workspace per activity/project. I have a workspace with Steam open and a game wiki I was consulting earlier, another workspace with Emacs and browser with documentation, a third workspace with Godot and some gamedev apps open. The beauty of niri is that I never feel I need to close some apps because I've got "too many windows"; it's quite easy to compartmentalize
I never understood the point of per-app workspaces. I hate having, for example, a single Firefox instance open with everything mixed in, from work to leisure.
This is the way. I see so many people using tiling WMs that have dedicated workspaces per app, even worse, are all full screen. What is the point?
Being able to have one window of Firefox per project workspace, with only tabs relevant to that project - this alone is a better than the myriad of ways Firefox themselves have tried to solve it within the app.
