Dave the Diver is my cozy solo game. My friends and I picked up Granblue Fantasy Relink as our nightly stint. Think monster hunter but even more anime

I'm in shambles, if only I had known! How could I have been so mistaken ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Whoa I heard of picture in picture but not picture by picture. Interesting, that's a neat bit of info to try to get two monitors out of one ultrawide.

[โ€“] casualhippo 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's promising! I was looking at 34" ultrawides when thinking about my ubuntu + i3 setup, I didn't even consider that 49" was an option. Is there anything that you think the dual monitor setup did better? Or were your concerns solved by the tiling wm?

[โ€“] casualhippo 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah its 100% nicer when you can work on one monitor and have info on the other instead of flipping back and forth on the primary. But there's a certain appeal to having just a huge single monitor... Think it would free up some table space and could keep my gaze more centered. I use ubuntu + i3 for both work and play so I'm wondering if a huge monitor could provide enough visual real estate to keep the convenience of two monitors. If I was using Windows or Mac I'd probably be more inclined to stick to dual monitor

 

I have a two monitor set up going right now hooked up to a dual display KVM switch. Sadly, a recent power outage has caused some finicky behavior in either my KVM or my secondary monitor, since it comes in and out. Will get around to debugging my setup once I have some time this holiday season, but I was also debating on switching to a single ultrawide monitor setup. I'm a software engineer by trade, and I get the most use out of the second monitor while working. However, when I'm doing literally anything else, the second monitor just tends to be Spotify, discord, or some background video or podcast.

What's your preference? Anyone switch from one to the other? How do you use your setup?

Just finished Marvel's Midnight Suns! Also playing Baldurs Gate 3 leisurely with my wife. Nabbed a bunch of turn based strategy games while they were on sale so looking to get into those next

What is "fediverse community spotlight"

 

I feel like it used to be size, color, and clarity meant more expensive. Now I look at a 500$ 4k TV and a 2000$ 4k TV and I don't know what the difference is. They can both be smart TVs, be the same size, and have a lot of same advertised features, but what are the subtle unspoken mysteries that justify a huge price gap?
