Is there a way to have Ubuntu boot up focused on a particular workspace, e.g., workspace_2?

Note, this is not how to always open an application on a particular workspace, but to have, e.g., the second workspace the first one focused on when starting up Ubuntu.

Thank you for any help!

It's actually simpler than I had imagined, you'll just need to add a command to your Startup Applications to find out which command that is, see this question.

If you choose to go with the accepted answer, you'll need to install the package wmctrl. If the first solution doesn't work for you, you can use xdotool

For example, you might add the command "wmctrl -s 3" to go to your third workspace using wmctrl. But of course you should experiment with the command to see which method works for you, then add that command to the startup apps.
