There's someone who uses 7 monitors?? That's...impressive, but in what case is a 7 monitor setup useful?

    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.

    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.
