Ubuntu can do the workspace switching as well, but also other window managers.
Step 1. Enable workspaces in Settings->Appearance->Behavior->Enable workspaces
You can see the four workspaces on the Launcher, near the Trash icon.
Step 2. Add shortcuts to switch to these workspaces in
Settings->Keyboard->Shortcuts->Navigation
You set a shortcut for "Switch to workspace 1" (up to 4).
Ideally, you would set these to "Alt+1", "Alt+2", etc so that a single shortcut takes you as once to a specific workspace.
