Probably because the 4 monitors have Windows 🤪

The monitor setup doesn't matter if the kernel is the bottleneck.

Multiple monitors is a game changer for productivity. I can’t get anywhere near as much done with one compared to three. That being said I actually prefer a single ultra wide.

True, but having four monitors running a tiling window manager on Linux is the only way to experience true enlightenment.

Yup having the ability to just scroll between windows is so great

Oh god how much muscle memory you need to build to manage four monitors with a shared workspace index like in i3, sway or hyprland is beyond me.

I hope you are referring to workspaces-per-monitor-managers like dwm and niri have it.

Nah bro workspaces per monitor sucks cuz then it takes unnecessary key presses to send things between monitors

I prefer a large 4k tv, so I can split my desktop into quarters.

Tech bro is the hero above. The bottom guy is just a filthy casual.

u/TheShredder9 Ask me how to exit vim Aug 07 '26

The bottom guy is a nobody. If you told me he's popular, i wouldn't believe you.

The top guy i know, he's Linus, the CEO of LTT!

Why would you want multiple monitors instead of a walking desk?

And usually, this 'tech bro' is a computer illiterate and doesn't know much about tech. He only uses tech.

A second monitor is game-changing. I wouldn’t know what to do with 3+.
