Window Maker was my first encounter with virtual desktops and since I started using it I can no longer imagine working efficiently without virtual desktops. Was Window Maker the first manager that had virtual desktops?
- antfarm 10y agoThe first time I have seen virtual desktops was on a UNIX workstation running the FVWM window manager in 1995, a couple of years before Window Maker's inital release.

- bluejekyll 10y agoThat was my first use of them as well.
- fiorix 10y agoMy first encounter with virtual desktops was on AfterStep, and later on I migrated to Window Maker as it was becoming more popular in Brazil. But I think CDE had virtual desktops long before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Desktop_Environment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Desktop_Environment
