## Breezy GNOME
Breezy GNOME is a virtual workspace solution for Linux desktops that use the GNOME desktop environment (support GNOME versions 42 through 47); see [non-GNOME setup](#non-gnome-setup) if you want to try it without a GNOME desktop environment. It currently supports multiple virtual monitors and multiple physical monitors. See [upcoming features](#upcoming-features) for more improvements on the horizon.

2. Run the [GNOME setup](#gnome-setup) steps. You shouldn't need to log out and back in since GNOME will be running nested.
