I use dual monitor and I would like to switch workplaces in both monitors. Currently, when I move from one workplace to another, only the primary monitor changes. How can I setup Ubuntu to switch workplaces in both monitors?

I'm using Ubuntu 21.10.

Default Gnome Shell does not do that: the main monitor is where you switch workspaces, the second monitor is an extension of the first workspace where you can place some reference info etc.

There is a Gnome Shell extension that adds panels and overviews to any of the monitors. It is around for a long time, regularly updated and available in the standard Ubuntu software repositories for systemwide install:

sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-multi-monitors
