From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Afaik the X11 standard says that this shouldn't be done and that workspaces should span all monitors (or something along the lines of that), thus most DEs don't do this (I've read this in the gnome issue tracker), don't ask me why cause I also hate this behaviour. Most window managers will do that however and luckily it's super easy to replace xfwm with another window manager. I use i3 inside xfce on my work laptop, this guide describes how to set it up with ease
