virtual desktops
Software-based multiple screens
Virtual desktops are multiple simulated desktop environments running on a single computer, allowing users to organize windows and applications across separate workspaces.
You might keep email on one desktop, coding tools on another, and media on a third, switching between them as needed.
The feature is built into modern operating systems: I keep my work and personal apps on different virtual desktops.
