alt Hacker NewsThe MacOS window manager is so bad that I've resorted to three monitors plus the built in screen. Two monitors have fullscreen terminal emulators and the last has the browser. The built-in screen handles all the distracting stuff whenever I can be bothered to look down at it.
With Xmonad I had 10 spaces on a single laptop screen (actually however many I wanted) with the flick of a button. And yes, I know about hacks like aerospace and the others that require disabling system integrity
If you were using a maximised app per workspace, I recommend setting up Hammerspoon for quick app switching. I have hyper + J for terminal, hyper + K for browser and so on. No space switching, but since each app occupies the full screen, it doesn't matter.
