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.

Any particular reason for that aspect ratio?

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 months ago

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.

Oh, that's cool! Like a reverse ultrawide

Basically, yeah! Similar aspect ratios were somewhat common in the early days of the PC. It's great when working with two tall windows at once (text documents, for example) or a single document where you want space in both directions (spreadsheets)
