Does anyone know how to set widgets in Sonoma on desktop1 and keep desktop2 clear for stage manger and app windows. I'd like to flow back and forth just like an iPad or iPhone.

No. It's not possible.

I like using the virtual desktop feature that has been around on Macs for years. With the new interactive desktop widgets in Sonoma, I was excited to be able to have a dashboard on desktop1 and stage manager and apps open in multi-tasking style on desktop2. If any apps are minimized with stage manager active the widgets stay greyed out on that virtual desktop. With iPads and iPhones you can have widgets on other "screens" as you swipe through the launchpad in iOS. Is there a setting that I haven't found that would enable this?

You can read the documentation...
