[–] pepperonisalami@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (3 children) There's someone who uses 7 monitors?? That's...impressive, but in what case is a 7 monitor setup useful? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] walthervonstolzing@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago One for each deadly sin, duh. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheMonkeyLord@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago Yeah that is wild. Back on windows I had a three monitor setup at one point and honestly rarely utilized the whole of it. Ever since moving to Linux and learning about virtual desktops I have never felt the need for more than one monitor. So I could hardly imagine the need for seven beyond novelty lol. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dman87@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) I had 5 monitors for a bit before changing to a 32:9 monitor for my main monitor which gives me the equivalent of 4 monitors. As long as the monitors are setup right (e.g. leveraging vertical space and not just horizontal space), I find the desktop real estate to be invaluable. But, I started doing dual monitors over 20 years ago. So, I'm an early evangelist of multi-monitor and have adopted workflows that greatly benefit from it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pepperonisalami@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago I'd like to try it out one day, for now I don't think I want to do that kind of investment in my setup. It sounds glorious though to have so many monitors. permalink fedilink source parent
