Does anyone know what KDE activities actually are? Is there a concrete description somewhere?
- space_ghost 6y agoThey're broadly similar to Workspaces, except you can also apply different panel and desktop configurations to each Activity. From KDE: "Activities are a super-set of Virtual Desktops. They don't replace Virtual Desktops -- in fact, each Activity can have its own set of Virtual Desktops if you choose. Instead, Activities are alternative desktops, each of which can have its own wallpaper, icons, and widgets."
- troyvit 6y agoKDE Activities are a little bit like virtual desktops. If you set up 4 virtual desktops you can tab between them and keep specific stuff on each desktop. With Activities you hit a command key and you get a new set of desktops. It's almost like logging into a new, empty session but you can switch back to a previous activity easily. I used to use the same laptop at work as at home, so I added a Home activity. When I was done with work I'd hit [windows key] tab and work would disappear from my desktop and all my home stuff would be there.
- jp_sc 6y agoKDE activities are separated instances of all your desktops. So you can have a set of desktops with open applications, background images, etc. for "Work", and other for "Personal", for example.
