Well, all commercial UNIXes had them before Linux was even a thing.

Yes I remember the CDE desktop had virtual desktops, but they go back even to Xerox Parc (according to Wikipedia). There are many minor aspects that have been tweaked and are perhaps newer ideas though. For example, on my desktop, I can search for a window title and get a list of windows across virtual desktops that are matches, and jump to the relevant desktop and window.
