The beauty of Mint MATE (linux) is that I can have as many virtual
screens as I want.

Unless I need to have more than one window per task, I simply move whole
tasks onto another virtual screen, so I can have e.g. Windows under
virtualbox on one virtual screen, a mail and news client on another, a
browser on a third...

Windows had (or maybe still has) virtual screens in a free collection
of addons from MS whose name I can no longer remember, however the
idea was never really promoted.
