This is it. This is the threshold of where a VR headset and a virtual desktop manager makes more sense.

I think I'd still rather this than have a heavy device on my head, an umbilical, and motion sickness.
I think I’d still rather this than have a heavy device on my head,
I've wondered about this, actually. We'd need necks like an NFL linebacker.
an umbilical, and motion sickness.
Joking aside, that's a legit concern. It's not for everyone, that's for sure.
I might have missed it but I'm surprised no one has mentioned a tiling WM.
I almost expect them as much as arch users lol.
Somone needs to make a program that greys out any monitor that the cursor isn't on.
I have had friends and coworkers send this meme to me repeatedly because my WFH setup is closer to this than I'd like to admit. Fuck it though, I find it helpful.
Bro, I have one coworker that does his work on a 14" laptop, no external mouse or keyboard.
I have no idea how. I have minimum 15 windows open at once and am going back and forth on them or have 4 windows open at once in my monitors to compare data and make markups. And ofc a nice keyboard and mouse. Laptop gets shoved out of sight.
I feel like he's either really slow or not doing any work at all.
And then I feel guilty because I don't work hard enough 🙄
The answer is he is really slow.
I have that same coworker.
He's the true definition of a grinder. Works on a laptop screen with only touchpad. He works 7 days/week and 9 hours/day to keep up productivity. I have no idea why.
I told Mgmt to please for the love of God buy him a monitor, and a mouse. My coworker refused both...
Yeah makes me feel like I'm so efficient I don't need to work near as much as I do!! But honestly my job is pretty easy, I'm under utilized and while its boring, its not bad and I get paid enough.
Those little monitor bracket clamps vs the edge of that desk...
his background image: 
Whoa, slow down there Satan.
I just saw a windows 95 era gradient until i zoomed in
This is why I like KDE Plasma. Just shake the mouse and watch the cursor get bigger.
Mac does this as well
And there isn’t an upper limit! Keep shaking!
Just use Xeyes app
Load up a couple of instances so you can triangulate its position
Or a 200% yellow cursor, like I do
Ask those fucking monitors and they couldn't spare a few hundred each on better chairs?
Knowing how crazy office furniture is, those could very well be thousand dollar chairs.
On the one hand, that's over $3000 in monitors for one cubicle.
On the other, "office furniture" and "IT equipment" can be two completely different budgets in different departments. So the numbers aren't directly comparable when it comes to requisitions.
You may not like it, but this is what peak ergonomics look like
8K ultrawide monitor in a nutshell(if we assume that each individual monitor has 1080p resolution).
And then a windows update in the middle, with "hey, take it easy bro, we are just taking care of a few things, alright? Your friends at Microslop."
I guess we need to extend this chart somewhat...
Okay I use a 50” TV as a monitor. What am I?
Unemployed?
