Watch a full screen movie while you do something on another monitor. Virtual desktops can't do that.

How do you keep your concentration on two monitors? When I had two monitors, I put black wallpaper on the second monitor because the usual ones distracted me

I'm either immersed or i multitask. You can do both?

Then again, my sis Works on her notebook while reading a magazine while watching tv while listening music on the smartphone she uses to chatt. Pure stress to me.

Yeah I can do both. Most movies are dialogue forward so I'm not always watching the screen. And then when there is a break in my game (loading screens, waiting for something to happen, mindless tasks) I can watch the screen. I only do it with games like Minecraft, Satisfactory, Cities Skylines, etc.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Accelerated Learning Experience

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Just pause the movie, do the thing, and then go back to watching the movie.

[-] captainjaneway@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah I guess you could do something completely different than what I said.

You can pin the movie to all desktops in one monitor, and combine the powers of the virtual desktops, and the other monitor(s)

[-] captainjaneway@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Oh yeah for sure I could use virtual desktops in addition. But a single monitor doesn't accomplish what I said. Hence why I brought it up as a counter point.

Why am I comparing moitors to virtual desktops?

I don't know


Does it make sense?

No


Do i use my 2nd virtual desktop more than my 2nd monitor?

Yes


Am I lost in what I am trying to prove?

Absolutely.

[-] captainjaneway@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

did you even read the full thread which provides the context you're neglecting?

No.

[-] bali10050@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I have but it's long past bedtime here and I'm starting to lose my ability to comprehend things in english. Sorry
