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've tried both and I prefer Ultrawide for the following reasons:

Less cables. Cable management is already hard enough as it is.
No borders in between screens. Looks amazing when watching movies and for gaming.

My current monitor is a GIGABYTE G34WQC.

Have the non-curved version of that, prefer the curved display at that size but it's a nice display regardless, at the distance it sits not really an issue, just preference, definitely recommend.

Built in kvm is fantastic for using with my work machine, used to use 3x 1080p displays, just like this more for pretty much everything I do.
