Did anyone ever find a way of having individual workspaces per monitor?
Nope, I just have workspace switching on my primary monitor with static secondary monitors. Just got used to it :/
With gnome 3.30 seems that each workspace could be configured separated and it's configured via GNOME Tweaks app (more info: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/612 )
I can't say more becauase it is not an issue for me anymore (sorry), I hope it helps.
Has anyone found a solution to have individual workspace per monitor?
well... wishing someday someone mess with it
In the issue that I linked, it seems to be fixed:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter workspaces-only-on-primary false
It's also mentioned:
By the way, you should be able to set this in the Workspaces page of the GNOME Tweaks app.
I can't confirm it because I don't have a Linux desktop with two monitors nowadays.
Linked workspaces work just fine on multi monitors on Ubuntu 20.04. I don't think there's a solution for separate workspaces per monitor however.
Thanks @rgo, this command saved my life! Now it's working with multiple monitors.
gnome-tweaks isn't working on 20.04 so this is the only way to change this config.

You're welcome @jose-daniel 👍🏻

I'm also interested. If anyone ever found that, I'd like to know how.
@vyruz @BuZZ-dEE @Frozenfire92 did you ever find a way?
