In Windows 11 there’s a button on the taskbar next to the start button that lets you switch between multiple desktop environments. It seems like something that would probably be useful in theory, but I can’t think of any reason why I would want to use it. Is it actually useful? What do people use it for?

    Why not just have all of that open on one desktop? Is it because you want your personal stuff to be hidden in case you need to share your screen?

      It’s a nice seapration of concerns. All the taskbar icons only show in their respective space, so I can keep my mind off work when I’m not working, and vice-versa, and there’s less general clutter to sort through.
