      The fact that that wasn’t part of the meme tells me that Java must be falling off.

    Semi-serious answer: Sometimes your PC has only two working monitor ports, and you choose to solve the “need more monitor space” problem by getting bigger monitors.

    The way I have my two monitors set up is fairly similar to that single curved display, so I could see this being a natural upgrade path for me.

      More serious answer: I like video gaming on a widescreen, my PC isn’t only for work.

    I prefer two cheaper flat monitors side by side. When I need to I temporarily hook one up to a Raspberry Pi or whatever and look at it and my PC at the same time. There might be a way to splice two machines into one super-wide monitor, but this is dead simple.

      I originally bought my super1wide monitor to hook two machines into side by side. They generally have two sets of inputs that makes this easy.

      Now that I think about, you could use a dual HDMI picture-in-picture setup off of the same gpu and you would get a second monitor contiguous with the first, and you can set and forget for your Raspberry Pi projects.

      If you’re working in the Linux console alone, you could also ssh into your Pi and, for instance, have your local machine on virtual console tty1 and the Pi on tty2, switching between them with ALT+Fx. Still only one monitor. 😜

        Ah but how do you enable ssh if you’ve forgotten to enable it (again!) from the initial firmware load on the SD card…?

          Lol. Been there, done that. 😅 'twas a long time ago now, but was it not simply naming a file ssh or sshd and putting it in the root directory? But then you’d have to have created a non superuser user and set a password too? Ah… My memory fails me. Better luck doing:

    The left one, for boot logs on tty. Btw, any way to print them to less? Some important messages are not in dmesg on Alpine.
