GNU/Linux®, FreeBSD and other systems that run X.Org Server have multiple desktops. You can typically have four different desktops installed by default. Each desktop can display its own set of programs and files. When KDE Plasma™ first starts up, the desktop you see is Desktop 1. If you press Ctrl+F2, you will see Desktop 2. Pressing Ctrl+F1 will bring back Desktop 1.
