Hiya!

Wondering how people’s experiences are regarding the use of ultrawide monitors on Linux these days. What kind of setup do you rock?

Am thinking about getting an oled monitor as my next monitor and current setup is two 32inch monitors where one of them is vertical. But been keeping a keen eye on ultrawides for a while but not sure its for me and how well it’s supported with Linux. I’ve read KDE supports it well, but what about when gaming? Also what’s the current state of oled and hdr support?

Also, please add your monitor brand+models, would love to see what peeps are rocking. Personally been looking at the Alienware AW3423DWF.

Edit: I’m looking at screens that are oled and 2k resolution.

Let me know your experiences, tips or recommendations!

    works fine on KDE, I use a 34" and wouldn’t go back to a two monitor setup. Maybe two ultra-wides stacked vertically? But not 16:9.

    I do use kwin with tiled windows, btw, with the new Krohnkite.

        it’s a curved viotek @ 144hz, not the best quality, but it was the cheapest with these specs back then
