      I spend hours aligning their bottoms and virtual position so now my three screens transfer the mouse exactly in their vertical middle.

      I also use a tiling WM with tons of workspaces and if I switch workspaces my mouse gets reseted into the middle of the workspace anyway.

        I switched to Wayland and it makes a huge difference. Pulling a window over to my higher dpi monitor makes it go … clearer. It looks just like how you’d want it to look.
        I like it so much I refuse to accept my status as chaotic good and want an exception for chaotic good wayland users with correct dpi compensation to be categorized as chaotic neutrals and lawfuls

      Nope. I’m a new convert and I love it. Laptop monitor to the left of the big landscape for random screens. It’s fantastic

      I’m sort of that. I’ve got two landscape and one portrait monitor, the portrait one is good for browsing websites like this one where there’s a lot of vertical text. I actually find myself preferring the landscape ones for coding since my IDE has a lot of stuff in sidebars and also some of the lines of text are very long.

      I am technically, but I almost never turn on my second (vertical) monitor. Usually when I have my main set to a different source and I want something from my desktop PC on the other monitor.

      I’m chaotic neutral too but I don’t code on the diagonal monitor. I only have it diagonal because my neck hurts looking at the side screen if I have them both horizontal lol

      Don’t take the chart seriously. Pretty much all of these setups are good for their uses and are done by someobdy, even certain forms of “chaotic evil”.

      I bought both of mine. For next to nothing from a charity shop. Also they’re TVs.

  • Ummmm… how about 2 vertical monitors above each other?

    That’s how I got this long ass screenshot, for example:

    I don’t know how else to do that, so I fixed it with hardware ʘ‿ʘ

    But otherwise, true neutral.

      You can tell xrandr anything, it doesn’t have to be physically connected. So you could get 3960x1080 virtual screen space for a single vertical HD screen. If you move your mouse to the edge of the screen it will scroll what is visible. I discovered it in my triple monitor setup. I turn off screens I don’t need (they waste like 30W!), but the script I wrote to notify X11 of these changes doesn’t work as reliably as I would like, lol. Also duplicate polybar sometimes, haha.

      Not sure how useful this is, because while the application thinks it has all this screen space available you can’t actually see all of it at once.

    One monitor isn’t true neutral. It’s broke-ass bitch. That’s me. I’m a broke-ass bitch.

      If you don’t care about them matching, thrift stores can have some really good deals.

        Even at thrift stores it’s usually not too hard to find a pair with matching size and resolution which are the two big considerations. Getting screens with identical pixel sizes makes all the difference.

      Yeah, it’s missing: [Laptop] [Monitor 1] [Monitor 2]

        That don’t you look down at my corner office desk setup! It’s balance. 32" 1440p, 14" 1080p, 32" 1440p. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

      And what about using a 65" 4K TV to replace four 32" 1080p monitors? Where do I fall on this chart?

      Glad to see another hanging PC!

      It was the only way I could get my monitors connected to my standing desk. Now I only need to figure out if subjecting hard drives to motor vibrations is risky, or if they can handle a bit of shaking when switching between sitting and standing.

        Yeah man! I have a wifi receiver/repeater, UPS, audio mic amplifier, and the PC mounted under. I move every 6 months and this lets me simplify having a workspace. I like being able to wheel the desk around.

    It’s not how I would want to be all the time, but Chaotic Neutral is really great for reviewing documents in a PDF.
