Linux Mint Tricks (4) Hidden Virtual Desktops/Workspaces (Xfce)

Linux Mint 21 Xfce Edition has 4 (hidden) workspaces or desktops by default. The Xfce Edition has some unique features as well as some limitations compared to Cinnamon or Mate DE's but also has a few of its own tricks up its sleeve. I show some of the settings and use cases that the Xfce Desktop offers out of the box and some additions to help manage those workspaces, or disable them if you choose.

You could use Compiz (as I do) and have an even more advanced desktop but that's for another video or see my Compiz videos for how to set up and use Compiz.

I'm not an Xfce user but have seen some amazing results over the years of my Linux journey by people far more capable than myself.
