@MK2boogaloo 100%, aiming feels super-weird! Like you are doing it from behind a window frame🤣
But that's all I have now.
I was reading the changelog of this Q2 engine mod: 3xDisplays are now supported… Wait, but I've never tried it with two and I've had these displays for ages🤔

@m0xee @MK2boogaloo kek, one monitor is all you need, virtual desktops exist for a reason and makes two monitors useless

@dem
I do use workspaces/v-desktops on my laptop with its tiny panel, but I do sometimes use both displays on my workstation. Most of the time the second one is off as it is a strain on the eyes, but sometimes it's cool that you can see all your chats, e-mails, logs from several machines, ssh to a couple… All at the same time. And Ableton Live in dual display mode is just great! In no way a must have, but it does have its uses 🤷

@m0xee @MK2boogaloo i did use two duel screen so i do know about the " LE COOLEIO EXTRA PRODUCTIVE" things that it has but tbh after switch to a del p780 (crt) and i find that duel screen did little for me and was infact making me distracted as well

@dem I'm not some hardcore dual-display guy. Like I said, most of the time it's off. I agree, sometimes it only distracts you, but I sometimes fire it up exactly for that, e.g. when I'm building stuff on remote machines and I want to see if something breaks immediately, not in a couple of hours when checking on it springs to my mind😅
I can use e-mail notifications and single 34" would probably have all my needs covered, but why when I have this thing sitting on my desk anyway.

@m0xee That's why people don't play games on two monitors like that. They may use three (as long as the main action is in the center of the center monitor, otherwise it'll look weird), or they may just use Ultrawide monitors. In your case you should just use one of the monitors for your game and the other one for everything else you want to do while gaming. But how will workspaces and tiling window managers on Linux work around that?

That was my original intent for this setup to stream Starcraft 2. But Blizzard eventually went to far with imposing unreasonable restrictions so I gave up on it.
I had three displays in the past, but they were all different shapes and sizes and I replaced them with these two. Good luck fitting three 30 inch displays on my desk though 😅

@james > how will workspaces and tiling window managers on Linux work around that
I tried using multiple displays on my other machines, not this one. Sway and surprisingly even dwm handle it just fine, I think dwm lets you assign different tags for each displays and they act completely independently, except you can move windows between them: switch window to floating mode, move to another display, switch back to tiles mode and it sticks there — that easy!

This is what true multi-monitor setup for playing iD software games should look like 🤓 https://youtu.be/q3NQQ7bPf6U?t=1788
Sorry for not using any privacy frontend, this link has a time code and I'm not sure that they support it.

@dcc I herd u like crts… 🤪
