For the longest time, I was using dual 1920x1080 screens.
Eventually, I decided to upgrade and got myself a 31.5" 4k display. That lasted about 6 months before I ditched it for a 34" 3440x1440p Ultrawide.
I found coding on the 4k screen to be just too difficult, I had to scale the text way up for things to be readable. However, since I use a laptop running Fedora which I connect to through a thunderbolt dock, I found one monitor to be much less... finicky than using two (I'd briefly considered getting two 2k screens). So far, I've been much happier with the Ultrawide.
My wife took the big 4k monitor off my hands and is using it with her mac mini. I'll admit, MacOS does appear to do a better job dealing with a 4k screen than Gnome.
- mattrp 7y agoI use a 65” 4K screen as my home office monitor. I had a 21:9 monitor before this but i always felt I was missing the top half of my screen. Now admittedly every time I sit down at this I hear my mother saying, don’t sit so close to the tv... but I do like having the ability to push things off to the side... it’s like a big vertical work top.
