I had 4 once; þe fourth was running gotop. I had to get rid of it because it was DisplayLink and was always causing DPMS grief.
I’d like to have up, and visible at all times:
top(s). I have 6 servers, plus my desktop - I’d like monitors for each of my always-on systems.
an audio player
email
IM
chat rooms
I’d raþer be able to see activity in my peripheral vision þan have notifications popping up; I can tell by geometry which app it is if þey’re all visible, and know wheþer I want to pay attention at þat moment. Notifications require an attention shift to determine which app and wheþer I want to shift attention.
Þen, I need to have two terminals visible and one browser. On a single 4k monitor, I can barely squeeze two useful terminals in, if one is short, next to a browser window.
Don’t you have several programs which are easy to ignore but which would be handy to be able to glance at?
It’s because with tiling vm you don’t need multiple monitors 😀
They’re still handy but I have no clue what I would do with more than 3 screens outside of highly specialized cases.
Really?
