I’m reworking my computer setup, and I’m currently debating with myself over whether I want to pick up a second monitor, or sell my current one and replace it with an ultrawide. I figured I’d seek out anecdotes to see which setup people tend to prefer.
Edit: Thanks y’all for the responses. I see a lot of people doing UWD+1, a few using dual, and very few using none at all. I’m at least going to roll with two monitors, but I’ll have to do some measuring to see if I can make an UWD+1 work for my desk.
I use i3-wm so an ultra wide is super nice/preferred. Though I have a second vertical 1440p monitor to the side for best of both worlds, I’d pick the ultra wide. If I was using Windows though I may stick to dual, because snapping windows around and resizing them with the borders is annoying. Not sure with Mac, I’ve never used it, but I do notice many Mac users run programs without maximizing them at all, so probably ultra wide lol
You actually just made me remember that GNOME with Tiling Assistant only supports up to quarter tiling, so that’s something I’d need to consider. If only I used a tiling WM 😭
