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?
Isn’t that what having different user accounts is for??
For that you’ll have to login in to each different user account and windows loading that account. Sometimes the current user has to close all his apps and logout. With Multi desktop it’s instant one click or a key board shortcut and you’re at the 2nd desktop.
But then all your shit is open while another user is on…using multiple accounts is the superior choice here.
Sure, if you don’t trust the other user. This would not be advisable in a work environment. But since the only user beside myself is my wife and daughter. I’m ok with it.
And if you collaborate with you ride it kids, ie share bookmarks etc, this is much easier then separate accounts and speeds up login requirements.
It’s not about trust. It’s just about keeping shit separate. It’s just good practice. Do you want a young kid on your pc account with all your shit open? I think not…
