Try KDE Connect if you’ve got an android phone, it’s pretty cool. I had to tweak the notification settings on my phone to get it to work the way I wanted, but ymmv, I’m just saying this because I’m usually happy with the KDE default settings (at least the Bazzite KDE default, I’m not sure how much the Bazzite team has changed their DEs).

You can even install KDE connect on windows though, I imagine its pretty DE agnostic.

There’s quite a few KDE apps that work on Windows. I think they’re trying to position KDE as a provider of high-quality cross-platform open-source apps, rather than being limited to just Linux.

Meanwhile “per monitor workspaces” have been requested almost 20 years ago and are a dealbreaker for many users…

I really like being able to disable the mute-sound button on the task icons, since I sometimes misclick on them during meetings… And once I had apparently done that and turned off the sound for slack, so my huddle didn’t have any sound. Took me like 15 mins to find the reason since I thought it had to do with pulseaudio…

IIRC it is possible to disable the indicators altogether, although that may or may not be an acceptable solution to you. For me it was worth the trade-off because of exactly this reason.

This one threw me off. I’d muted discord by mistake. Weirdly voice still works. I spent ages checking and double checking settings to see why I wasn’t getting notification sounds and the ptt sound. Dismissing any mute possibility because voice was working.

When I found it was this…

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
