I am not sure what is interesting in having different task layout but feel free to educate me.

As for widgets, I am still struggling to see the point of widgets (regardless of platform, it is the same for mobiles). Usually if I am in front of my computer screen, I will hace apps opened that will hide any kind if widgets. Or is it for people using 8k 120cm diagonals screens?

Not sure what's hard to imagine about different sets of icons in your taskbar. Quick example, your personal taskbar might have:

- Steam

- Youtube

- Plex

While for work you might have:

- A terminal

- Work chat

- Work ticketing system

- Your editor

I'll just link to a page about Activities since I'm just rehashing them: https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/plasma-desktop/plasma-deskto...

This is a step in the right direction, if someone could come up with a simple enough but extensible enough de-facto standard for multiple “profile”, our lives would be immensely enriched.
