      They’re for us dorks who like to like to chase efficiency in both screen real estate and keyboard navigation. A nice TWM combined with either a 21:9 or (my personal favorite) 16:18 ratio is pure bliss.

          That’s fine. I’m running two DualUps (16:18) with a TWM, and it’s amazing. I wish they weren’t a discontinued display, or else I’d add a third.

            So that’s effectively 2 monitors in a single case?

            Stop, I can only get so erect.

              It’s literally two panels without a bezel between. You can run full-screen with one input, or go into PIP mode and drive each individual panel with a different input.

                  Yeah, that’s what I was lamenting. I want to add a third to my array, but stock is depleted everywhere and there’s no sign yet they will manufacture an updated model.

            Ah, a fellow DualUp evangelist. it’s a pity they didn’t catch on that much.

              It really is a shame. I think right out the door being only 60hz probably hurt their adoption. But really, the ratio just doesn’t shine with your average, floating WM that most users are only accustomed to.

      I like tiling window managers, because I run out of screen real estate and actually close windows. On a regular window manger, I will open dozens of windows and keep them open for many sessions.
