      I need to be able to see what I’m referencing while working

      The constant swap between virtual desktops is a pain

      However I do wish material shell (tiling) treated separate monitors as separate virtual desktops so I could swap left>right and up>down

      tiling window managers with multiple desktops is such a productivity boost and makes single screen work effortless. I don’t think I’ll ever use a traditional floating window os again

      I use Xfce for my media laptop and was wondering why anyone would use virtual desktops when the buttons on the top panel are so tiny and annoying to click

      Then I recently found out you can move your cursor all the way to the left or right edge and scroll with your mouse wheel to switch virtual desktops.

      Made me consider actually using virtual desktops lol

    I could go from 3 to 2, but no way in hell I’m going back to a 14" eye destroyer. Not when generic 24" monitors are cheap and have adequate refresh rates for most tasks.

    I don’t know if I would want to do it all the time, but I have come to appreciate the workflow when using a single monitor. I feel like I’m more focused.

    I use three monitors and could use a fourth one (ultra wide) for some specific tasks, meanwhile my colleague that does the same job is working from a 13" laptop screen sitting on a cushion at her coffee table…

    I specifically trained myself away from it when I went to working remote. I don’t want to be tied to my desk when I could spend my day at the park, beach, coffee shop, bar, on a boat, or Disneyland and still get work done.

    I have a portable monitor just in case and I bust it out if there’s no monitor for me to plug in.
