I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 ,
I want different Shortcuts / Icons ( And Wallpaper if possible) on each workspace , like mac has so i can make one for school one for gaming one for home and one for computer stuff.
Maybe a desktop 2 folder or something ?
i searched a long time and i didn't find anything .
Thanks for your help :)

( I wont do things that could do damage to my system )

As a Kubuntu user, I'll just mention that KDE has had this ability for quite some time now.

weard so i installed kde-plasma-desktop


sudo apt-get install kde-plasma-desktop

then i started it


startkde

it took like 30 seconds and it showed a grey bar at the buttom of my laptop screen with nothnig on it ... then i tried to place some folders on the desktop but t didn't create a kinda shortcut or something it created a panel with the files that are inside the map and then i switched to another workspace but it was still there ...

Well usually you install the kubuntu-desktop (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE) package to add KDE, but I've never found it easy to manage multiple desktops. I just install Kubuntu directly when building systems. I haven't run a machine with the stock Ubuntu desktop in a decade now, so I can't help much with adding KDE to Ubuntu.
