It seems like most of his grievances are with macOS and not his monitor.
For a long time I've been using tiling WMs (currently awesomeWM) and I could never go back. Yes there is a bit of a learning curve while you settle on a good configuration for you, but the productivity gains are worth it since you spend so much time interacting with your WM.
Obviously your options are more limited outside of Linux, but there is a WM tool in Microsoft's Powertoys repo which looks intriguing.

- mumblemumble 7y agoOS X has a good tiling tool: https://rectangleapp.com/ https://rectangleapp.com/ It's essential for my survival on the 4K monitor that work gave me. Does a better job than any of the commercial products listed in TFA that I tried.
- fit2rule 7y agoYou can easily do tiling WM's on MacOS with Hammerspoon, too.
- jchook 7y agoI second this. I switched from a MBP to Linux + Xmonad and it now brings me deep pain to use or see other people use macOS.
- Tenoke 7y agoI've tried tiling WMs a few times and liked awesome but at least at the time there were too many problems. Is it now easy to set up a launcher/start bar with a nice battery/volume/wifi etc. indicator? Do all Windows open normally? Do you get any crashes? Are there any WM-specific settings/fixes you have to tweak more often than once every 6 months?
