… if you know how to use virtual desktops and shortcuts. You can’t look at two screens at a time, anyways.
One use case I can understand is having a 2nd monitor for checking stock prices or checking for a certain event. Other than that, I don’t see how it contributes to “productivity” while working or coding for example.
P.S: Tiling WM users may understand this post more
Funny how you seem to believe that “checking stock prices” is a good use of a whole monitor but don’t seem to see how literally any other task could benefit from having reference material up on a second monitor.
Should I upvote because it is an unpopular opinion or down vote because he is wrong? I know it’s the former but I really don’t want to!
Lol an actual unpopular opinion. I use 4 monitors. Sometimes I’m looking at reference documents on a second monitor to determine how to implement the function. Sometimes I have my dbms app up on the third screen so I can look at the data structure as I’m implementing it. And the 4th monitor is usually for YouTube so I have a background noise/video to keep me focused
I have 3 27" 4k screens in this layout: | - -. That’s from left to right, portrait landscape landscape.
I have a terminal and sometimes on the 1st screen. Code/Work on the second. Documentation/chats/email on the 3rd.
It works well for me :)
Was going to downvote this until I saw the community. You have a terrible opinion. Well done.
