   please to solicit opinions on multiple monitors with at least one rotated into "portrait mode"
   vs.
   one large fancy pants extra wide screen one
   in terms of comfort while programming (not gaming)
   from those who have tried both setups

     @pho4cexa I think it depends on whether you already use a tiling WM or not

     @pho4cexa yeah, even with the help of a tiling WM I don't see the appeal of one big display personally, unless you got one with a weird aspect ratio, but without one it'd be a total non-starter

     (I think I saw someone with a 3:2 which looks nice but I forget where? plus I imagine you pay a lot extra for something weird; that's how it usually works)

     @technomancy ohhhh i see what you mean

     well, in my case, yes i do use a tiling wm. but if i went single-screen let's pretend that I could setup keybindings or tags or something to let me manage the stuff on the right separately from the stuff on the left

     i'm currently more interested in "gosh i wish i hadn't got this wide hidef monitor because even thought the text is crisp i can't make my editor tall enough for these long ass functions i have to deal with"
