How to Create and Switch Workspaces in Linux Mint

Workspaces are a nice, neat way to organize your work.

Suppose you have too many applications open. Your taskbar will be cluttered and it might be difficult for you to find/move between different programs.

Workspaces come in handy in this situation. You can group applications in different workspaces. So, let’s say you have many programming-related applications opened. And you are also working on documentation.

You can organize them in separate workspaces. Click and drag an application window and it should show the option for moving the application to a different workspace.

This will ease your work in a more organized way and will save some time as well as frustration.
