"we have dual monitor at home"
My little brother came up with this meme. A little outdated but it was a chance to show him how to make stuff like that!

I don't understand the last panel
Virtual desktops: KDE / Wikipedia / Gnome
TLDR: If you don't want your desktop to be a mess, you can spawn applications in different virtual desktops, and switch between them.
Windows has had them since 10 (and obviously far earlier via 3rd party).
Yes, 15 years after everyone else (hence 3rd party).
Neat.
And macos since much earlier!
If Windows 10 had the feature since 2015 (first W10 release) that would be at least 3 years after Gnome; Earliest mention I can find and that's worst case scenario for Gnome.
As for KDE Plasma it had those since at least 4.2.0, Plasma 4.2.0 announcment that version was released in 2009.
Gnome 2 had virtual desktops
I don't know much about Gnome's history, that's why I used the earliest mention I could find.
KDE Plasma may have had it before 4.2.0 too, but I cannot find KDE 3, 2, or 1 announcements. Most likely because of the name change.
KDE had them back in the 90s. They had to - virtual desktops were a feature of pretty much any window manager more complicated than TWM. They'd have been laughed at if they didn't.
No they had to wait specifically for Plasma 420 for the most important feature. Look forward to Plasma 6.9 as well.
3rd party for win95 had it, maybe even 3.11
I think they removed the native ones on 11. Correct me if I am wrong though...
Edit: I was wrong.
I'm not on 11 yet, but Google says it's still there by default.
Thank you for the correction!
I'm jealous 😭 that thing can actually play NES gun games, unlike modern LCDs
Why can't modern LCDs play NES gun games?
AFAIK, several milliseconds delay that LCDs have when updating the display, and sometimes the residual brightness from the LCD backlight (when the NES blacks out the display for a fraction of a second to figure out what the light gun is pointing at) isn't accepted by the console
CRTs can go completely black (similar to modern Oleds) and update instantly, so these work as expected with the light gun
So would high refresh rate OLEDs work?
Couldn't find a better monitor if I tried!
I just hacked my drivers to make my hdmi output a "thingy that hooks into antenna" signal
Goated
That is fucking cool
And what does the bottom image show?
Jokes on you, I have two monitors and 9 workspaces (I don't know how you call these)
Virtual desktops/workspaces.
So proud of him!
I have one monitor (laptop screen) and 8 workspaces
What's dated about it?
The format is over 2 years old and kind of dead as far as my knowledge goes...
