# The desired behaviour is: | |
# Primary monitor and secondary monitor are linked workspace. | |
# I.e. you change to next workspace, primary monitor change to this workspace and second monitor too. | |

# Look for /desktop/gnome/shell/windows/workspaces_only_on_primary and set to false |
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.
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.
You're welcome @jose-daniel 👍🏻
Did anyone ever find a way of having individual workspaces per monitor?
I'm also interested. If anyone ever found that, I'd like to know how.

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.
