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?
They’re still handy but I have no clue what I would do with more than 3 screens outside of highly specialized cases.
Really?
