Chaotic good here. They have different DPI too so you’re never quite sure where your mouse is going to end up.

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.

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.

What about those who eschew multi monitor setups in favour of an ultrawide?
