At the moment, I am using a laptop with Ubuntu. I doubt it would be fast enough to make multiple desktops practical, but please advise on how to make focus follow mouse, that would be useful.

Easy to try, though! > but please advise on how to make focus follow mouse, that would be useful. Focus follows mouse depends on the window manager. I'm running XFCE, and there it's Settings, Window Manager, Focus tab, select "focus follows mouse". I haven't used any other desktop environment for probably over a decade, but if you're not using XFCE then a Google search will probably help you. -- Great music, chat and even some wit.
