That's quite a lot of activities. You do know that plasma has also has virtual desktops, that work better in a lot of ways, right?
Virtual desktops are strictly worse for the purpose of separating things like work and gaming
Exactly (at least in my experience). I have my gaming apps pinned in my gaming activity, and my work apps in my work activities. The only annoyance there is when certain apps open in the "wrong" activity. For instance, I pretty much always have the Kate text editor up in my gaming activity because I play games with a million mods and constantly have to fix things. Because of that, when I need Kate for work it'll tend to open an instance in the gaming activity and I have to move it in the clunky way stuff gets moved between activities.
I know it has it, but at least for me I find activities to be more beneficial. I really like being able to customize them for each purpose. I'm also not sure if you can set custom hotkeys to go to a specific virtual desktop like you can with activities.
Obviously if activities get removed from KDE I'll go back to using virtual desktops but until then I'll make the most of them.
