I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else here with an 8:9 monitor, so I’ll break the ice! The color theme is Layan Light; everything else is stock KDE.

    You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip To Be Square”. A song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It’s also a personal statement about the band itself.

      It’s a single monitor (LG DualUp) but it’s effectively the size of two 16:9 1440p displays stacked on top of each other.

      Have you tried it with a tiling WM? I’ve been debating whether I should switch.

        Yeah, I tried it with hyprland and COSMIC. I’m currently using KDE, but if I get enough energy to configure hyprland on NixOS, I’ll switch to that. COSMIC wouldn’t let me use Steam, so I had to switch back to KDE. Tiling on COSMIC was really nice, though.

    Looks amazing! I don’t really appreciate the modern trend of rounded corners too much
