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!

    I went for a 27" 1440p w/ 24", but that’s because I had the 24" laying around.

    I use an ultrawide at work, and it’s fine, but I generally just use it like two monitors anyway, so for productivity I’d prefer two monitors so I’m not screwed when one dies. But I haven’t done any gaming on that monitor, so I’m not sure how the extra real estate would feel for the games I play.

    I’m considering replacing my 24" and am considering another 16:9, just bigger (30+") and 4k, though I’m worried my GPU will struggle (6650XT). We’ll see.
