How is this different from virtual desktops?

Virtual desktop is nerdspeak.

Room is normspeak.

All those faux real world analogies is what keeps normies afraid of computers.

It sometimes goes by different names, such as 'workspace' or 'screen'; but these days I think every major desktop OS has these.

It's just the name for "where the windows go".

So you might have your terminal full screen on one virtual desktop, and your browser on another virtual desktop, and use shortcuts to navigate from one to the other.
