No, it can’t be done that on kde or gnome. Here are two such questions on the “other” site, as some people have offered some workarounds there in the comments: reddit.com/…/is_there_any_way_to_separate_kde/ and reddit.com/…/multi_monitor_independent_desktop_wo…

Gnome let’s you do this on the primary display, but afaik it’s not possible on the secondary/tertiary displays.

(on the Linux side, I »think« only tiling window managers have really experimented with and taking advantage of this sort of thing)

AFAIK, you can’t. i3wm/sway might be what you’re looking for, but it’s a very different workflow.

I do this on Hyprland all the time, but it’s a tiling window manager. I’m not sure any desktop environments have support for it.

This is unfortunately stupidly difficult on most Linux desktops, because the EWMH standard doesn’t support it. You mostly find support for it in niche desktops, like various tiling WMs or the Enlightenment DE.

When browsing for workspace indicator extensions the other day, I alao saw this: Gnome extension Switch workspace on active monitor

It wasn’t useful to ne, because I use only one huge monitor, but might be what you’re looking for. it was easy to go back and find it, because I remembered my search term was just “workspace”.

In the upcoming Cosmic desktop by Pop!_OS, workspaces can be monitor specific, just like MacOS

That’s good to know. I’m pretty excited for Cosmic. Pop is already pretty slick.

God I need to try it! It’s probably going to be insanely stable also.

I don’t think you can do it with kwin (KDE wm), but if you’re using xorg, you can replace it with something like i3wm. Do note you’ll lose the desktop, and will need to unbind most KDE shortcuts. It’s definitely worth it though.

This a very old feature request for KDE. It has not been implemented in almost 20 years so I its probably very hard to do with kwin. Neal Gompa thinks this wayland protocol could make it possible in future, but with the current speed wayland protocols are accepted this could take another 20 years.

You can have multiple workspaces per monitor on GNOME, just check your multitasking settings. I do this for my workflow since it’s more efficient for me.

Where did one find these multitasking settings?

I might be wrong since I haven’t checked for the location in gnome 40 but there should be tab in the main settings app for it just search workspace in that app and it should come up.
