From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'd rather have multiple monitors so I have the more intuituve window snapping. But to each their own.
Honestly, ultrawide for spreadsheets is awesome.
I'm firmly in both camps. Window snapping is much more flexible on a single monitor- I can't really do quarters on a side-by-side setup, but I can on an ultrawide. However, I love having a second monitor in portrait.
Until they make T shaped displays that I can mount sideways, to get the best of both worlds, I guess my best option is a single massive screen, where I only use a thin strip of one half.
Were you also a proud owner of an LG Wing? 😉
