How do I use window system effectively? I recently learned to

I like to utilize workspaces/virtual desktops. Split up any multitasking across multiple desktops. It's so convenient. You can do this on Windows too.

Yeah, I do something similar with FVWM, except I use both multiple virtualized desktops and larger-than-screen virtual windows. In addition to this, I have a Perl module I use that enables me to manipulate my windows in a quasi-tiling way so that I can use a lot of estate, without the inflexibility of an actual tiling window manager. All with sloppy focus. I know there's a window manager that does the tiling similarly, but it's not nearly as extensible--nor flexible--as FVWM is. I mean, it's insane how multifaceted FVWM is.

To elaborate, Super+r resizes a highlighted window to 50% screen size and the centers it, which makes sense for certain applications, such as Emacs. And then there's the keybinds for native FVWM functionality like Super+i which just iconifies windows. I have icons disabled, though, so I access iconified windows with a dialogue that left click opens up, but there's also a keybind I have that opens up the same dialogue next to my cursor.

I reserve the second desktop for applications initialized on startup, that I might not visit very frequently.

You can manipulate windows size and position from external programs?

Yes. You can do a lot of things.

What exactly is the practical benefit of not maximizing windows if you can manage and toggle between multiple virtual desktops much quicker?
