I had 4 screens but my GF broke her laptop so I had to set up a desktop for her to work well hahaha

The screens I left to her are: LG IPS 25" Ultra-wide 2560x1080 and a 27" fullHD AOC 1080p TN.

The laptop on this pic is mine which I use for emergencies only (work away from home or from the sofa because I'm tired) and it's a cheap 14" Huawei with Ryzen 2500U, 8Gb RAM and 256Gb SSD M.2, simply does its job, nothing special. Also with Elementary OS and Windows 10.

And this is my working desktop with Elementary OS (well, now with 2 screens less...)

A little crowded but productive.

  • ShuttlePro v2 Video editing
  • Rode NT1-USB for Meetings
  • Rode Podcaster + Focusrite Scarlet for production stuff
  • Logitech 922 HD Pro Webcam, Kiyo Razer Webcam
  • Digital Storm Lumos workstation. I9-9920k/64 gig Ram
  • NES controller for the important stuff.

I also plug a Macbook Pro into everything for work. Have an I7/32gig PC under the desk that only runs Virtual Machines.

In my recording room I have a 2012 Mac Mini plugged into an RE20 w/DBX286s, Cloudlifter etc specifically for recording audio on my courses and podcast.

You always can adjust the resolution to match the size. Non 4K is terrible for coding, especially if you are using retina mbp

I used to have my telework stuff on the dining room table but it looks like we're in this for the long run (months, and when the office reopens they'll have a fraction of the staff on site), so I spent a few hours Saturday making room in the small bedroom (which has no bed). Telework setup is on the left:

  • 2x 24" monitors
  • 1 laptop (left) for Microsoft Teams and a few other things (work bandwidth is limited, so while they're working on increasing capacity they ask that we do not use the work network for online meetings, training/tutorial videos, etc.)
  • 1 laptop (right - lid closed) - that's the laptop from work and the only thing that's theirs (plus the phone, I guess).
  • Kinesis Freestyle keyboard
  • Evoluent VerticalMouse 4

On the right is my personal computer setup. 2011 27" iMac with two 27" Thunderbolt monitors. Lower-right corner there's a turntable, because heavy metal. :) I find it's a good way to ensure I get up and move relatively frequently, having to change sides or records.

Left one is the work machine (the macbook pro behind the screen), right one is the game machine. So basically I scroll to the right at 6:00 PM ;)

Wherever they sell cherry mx compatible keycaps. I personally prefer doubleshot pbt keycaps.
Some suggestions:

mechanicalkeyboards.com/
candykeys.com/

No, it's something I've put together myself; it's a combination of:

github.com/simskij/dotfiles
github.com/simskij/dustbin-theme-m...
github.com/simskij/dustbin-theme-s...

and possibly more that I've not yet bothered pushing to github. πŸ€“
Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to styling chrome and slack yet.

why QHD? is 4k too much? I mean too small icons, text, etc?
