always more and more vertical space wasted
16:9 is the most popular aspect ratio on desktop, there is no valid reason to waste more vertical space
that's poor UX
- robinsonb5 4y agos/popular/common/ I sometimes wish portrait oriented 4:3 monitors had become the dominant form.
- Jorengarenar 4y agoIn that particular case I'd say words "popular" and "common" are interchangeable.
- bombcar 4y agoI’m a bit surprised phones haven’t cause verticle 9:16 to become a bit more common.
- WesolyKubeczek 4y ago9:16 is too tall and therefore tiresome shite. Source: I've been using some monitors like that. It's 2:3 or 3:4 or 4:5, otherwise your neck is going to hurt. But hey, I embraced wide screens by using multi-column layouts, you should try them some time.
- bombcar 4y agoI have two ultrawides and two 4k (both 16:9 but one in portrait) along with the MacBook Pro screen - it’s nice. The key is not maximizing windows.
- nunodonato 4y agoThat's why I love Ubuntu. Keep that dock on the left, maximize vertical space. (Too bad the default GTK is a bit to loose on the padding)
