I had this issue as well. Make sure you have at least two virtual desktops active. You can add virtual desktops under Settings → Workspaces → Virtual Desktop

I use kolourpaint mainly to do things like highlight something in a screenshot - e.g. a big red arrow, or a red circle or underline under some text - anything more complex, and I dig out InkScape or I “bring out the GIMP”

The key seems to be creating at least two virtual desktops in Settings

I use Nobara Linux Official KDE and the Vivaldi web browser. Both are super fast and super stable. Nobara Linux is extensively tweaked for performance and gaming. It is very efficient when I multi-task on my Nobara desktop.

I use KDE. It is the best in the customization but also looks overly complicated at the same time with so many buttons lying around.

I have used KDE but it does not appeal. Xfce is complicated enough for me.

I used KDE/Plasma in the past. I liked it, but could spend hours tweaking it into oblivion to provide das perfekt interface. Of course I never succeeded at that, but the experiments were there.
Now I simply use mint and it does what it needs to do. No need to tweak it into oblivion.

KDE is the definition of ‘looks good from afar’ like a beautiful mountain. The initial charm often fades overtime, happened in my case. I still use KDE anyway for few reasons:
- GNOME requires lot of extensions to do a thing that can be done natively in KDE. Like:
- blocking screen from sleeping (GNOME needs Caffeine)
- active window borders and hints (I don’t know if GNOME has such extension)
- Konsole is feature loaded, mainly terminal splits (GNOME terminal is too basic)
- KDE theming is simpler than GNOME
- KDE has useful widgets by default (GNOME needs an extension based on use case)
there could be other things which i can’t recall.. 
ZORIN is one distro that I always admire. It is GNOME based but designed perfectly.

Have you tried Solus with Budgie. That would be my most beautiful experience. There must be someone at Solus with artistic ability.

I’m not using KDE because of Qt. I’m a GTK “fanatic”. I also think it looks ugly in the defaults, and when customising, it feels like overkill. GNOME’s approach is much more simpler, and I daily drive Budgie. Not as much customisable, but who on earth needs i.e. tu customise corner radius?
Agree with @nevj on the Budgie thing. It was my first approach with Linux, and eopkg- simplicity at its finest.

If you corner trim the pages of a book, it helps to prevent dog-eared pages. There is probably an optimum trim radius.
But on a screen? I cant see the point

I’m constrained to DEB-based distros for my development environment, so I’m looking for the right balance of form and function within that ecosystem. From your comment, it’s clear that user preference varies greatly. In my case, while Budgie has a clean look, its feel doesn’t quite match the modern, fluid UI transitions I prefer, especially on newer hardware. I will keep Solus on my Wishlist.

That still gives you a wide range, although it is hard to find a good rolling release deb distro. It is a bit of a contradiction… Debian is very tied to its fixed release pattern… and we cant criticize it because it produces something very stable.
I use Devuan and MX among Debian based distros, and occasionally Antix.
I used to use plain Debian.
I think Budgie is available outside of Solus, but I cant see the point… it is its implementation in Solus that is super good.

KDE Plasma forever!
On Debian and (occasionally) Manjaro.

Tell us why?
Is it artistically appealing, or workable, or has some special features that you need , or whatever?
