Activate "activities" by putting the mouse into the upper-left corner of the 
screen. Then you can see a list of currently open workspaces on the far right 
on the screen, where you can click to switch between them (and make an 
indecent-for-public comment on mouse-mileage of the desktop design).

You don't get to have a predetermined number of 4 or 6 desktops. You start 
with one, and as soon as you open some app on that one, another empty one will 
be automatically created for you below that one, and so on.

The next question you'll probably post will be "where is the shutdown option 
in the menu?", so let me save you the trouble and say that there isn't one. 
You can get it by pressing the ALT button on the keyboard once you open the 
menu.

And of course, you can always forgive&forget&switch to XFCE, KDE or LXDE. ;-)

HTH, :-)
