MacOS Ventura – Completely disable multiple spaces and mission control

I have a Mac running Ventura and two monitors. I find the use of Spaces or multiple desktops distracting given that I have adequate screen real estate for the way I work. (Disclosure: I’m a Windows user as well, and while they have their equivalent to Spaces, I hate that as well.)

I just want to turn the whole thing off and manage all my apps on one desktop/space, spread across my laptop screen and my external monitor. How do I achieve this?
