Lifter@discuss.tchncs.detoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?

6 months agoBackend dev. I have an ultrawide (like two monitors in one).
Sometimes I need to test the full stack and need a lot (8+) terminals. I try to tile them all on a separate virtual desktop.
Most commonly though, I center my main application and can have two smaller, peripheral applications, one on each side.
When doing full stack, I need a browser, IDE and two terminals, tiled to give more space for the browser.
That’s the usual open source way. The config probably came later so they just added the option without changing the default because that would break backward compatibility.
And there would be too much boring work to build a migration.
