  • Imagine installing Win11 for the very first time without decades of Windows experience because you are eg a Mac user.

    Actually funny thing, I have a pretty minimal amount of windows experience, and basically 0 windows 11 experience (my use of windows computers was basically flash games back when I was a kid, and IT classes, which boiled down to launching office apps or codeblocks), and as the resident “computer person” of the family I usually end up having to fix various issues for them. Which ends up with me looking up very basic things for like 30 minutes that I can do in linux with 'muscle memory" in 30 seconds all the time :3

    Which is all to say this is an apt comparison and a real issue







  • Oh I can definitely recommend a 2nd screen when you get a bigger desk lol, even if you don’t go as overboard with the multitasking :3 personally it’s been a game changer

    Maybe it is overkill, but if overkill is the best solution, and you can afford it, I would go for it.

    And yeah, definitely :3. It’s probably not an upgrade im making in the near future, cause I feel like there’s more important hardware I could invest in, but if I do find myself with money to spare, and no real pressing matters it’s definitely something that would be cool to pick up


  • Good question :3 so 2 of the displays I have are 25" (or 24.5") monitors, those are for my general multitasking, I found one screen to be really lacking for certain tasks, like screen recording for example, as I’d basically have to run everything windowed or across different workspaces, and then switch between like 3-4 apps just to monitor everything that I want, not even counting other apps I want open lol, which gets cluttered. So usually I use my main screen for whatever task im focusing on + workspaces, and the 2nd for chat apps, media (spotify/youtube for podcasts usually), and some other varying apps like a browser/settings/OBS

    The 3rd screen is a tv! It’s angled away from my desk and towards my bed, and it’s basically just for media I want to consume while not sitting in an office chair, like movies, or whatever lol

    And the 4th one I considered would be for video calls as I said in a different reply in the thread :3. I was looking at prompters (which are basically just screens reflected on transparent glass with a camera behind it) just cause for me it can be kinda awkward switching between looking at the screen and the camera, and I don’t want to look like im just constantly looking off to the side to the other person lol :3. This is very much an overkill solution though :3
