Your preferred setup sounds like one of the layouts of my current ultrawide monitor: one primary window at 2/3 the width, and a secondary window at 1/3. But a single ultrawide gives you flexibility - easily switch to a 50/50 split or 100% width if you're working with something that requires it (or has a really big sidebar).
I'm using Magnet on MacOS so I don't know how easy a 1/3 split would be in other operating systems. If you get an ultrawide or a large TV, setting up some kind of window management tool is probably required.
- kitsunesoba 4y agoThat setup sounds workable, but dual screens is almost non-negotiable for me because it allows entire sets of primary/secondary windows to be mixed and matched on the fly just by changing spaces (I use macOS primarily as well). It's very powerful, because it cuts the overhead of window management down to almost nothing without adding any key shortcuts or gestures beyond what I'd be using anyway. For snap functionality on the rare occasion it's needed, I use Moom because it's probably the most unobtrusive of those types of utilities. No Aero Snap to unintentionally activate or draw spurious rectangles and no extra key shortcuts, just a little bubble that pops up when hovering over the green traffic light. macOS also has very similar snapping functionality built in so when working on a stock configuration system I'm still mostly at home.
