I bought an ultrawide and don't think I could go back. Its good for gaming (when a game knows how to take advantage of it, some still suck at this though) but for productivity it is absolutely a game changer for me.
Highly recommend something like display fusion if you are on windows. You can setup "virtual monitors" so you can "full screen" a game and not take up the whole thing and it works great. Some games are rough at 32:9 aspect ratio so I setup a basic 16:9 ratio virtual monitor in the center, can still see discord on one side and whatever else I need on the other side. Also had a shortcut key to dim everything but active window so you didn't have brightness bleed while gaming. It's great. There are similar features baked into KDE, so I didn't even need further software when I changed to linux.
