huh. i have the left monitor desktop customized to my liking, my wife has the right one customized to her liking. we have shortcuts on each screen to make it the primary monitor depending on who’s using it.
it’s been so long since i set it up i don’t remember much. it’s a windows machine, i had to download a utility so i could set up a batch utility to change my primary monitor without going into settings.
we could, but my wife is not the most into computers. a big reason we have not switched to linux is i barely remember how to use that CLI. I could not coach her through it right now at all. she did not like having to log out to get into her account, and what we have works. there are probably less condescending ways to mention computer functions, but this is the programming community i guess
My apologies, I didn’t mean to be condescending, just meant this as a light jab!
Due to the original post, I assumed you were on linux, which is pushing the use of user accounts pretty aggressively.
I think the meme is a cliche of “haha you are in a relationship so your partner takes up all your time and you don’t have any time for your hobbies”. Which sounds like a pretty toxic relationship tbh
Yes

Would you mind sharing a bit more about your setup and how y’all use it? I’m just curious, not gonna give any unsolicited advice

You’ve never heard of user accounts?

nah sorry i’m just overly sensitive today, it’s been a sucky
dayweeki forget. i shoulda recognized the jab for what it wasShhh… (this is cuter)
but thats just a single open app in the top frame? btop i believe
edit – oop after i zoomed in so i could see the gaps i realise its 3 apps. btop, htop (redundant) and yazi or ranger or superfile.
woudlnt the real implication be that the top panel is using a window manager and the bottom one is using a mint alternative?
The window manager is very customised. And “fiddling with the desktop” may include setting up tiling wm
if im not mistaken the top one is just archcraft (perhaps i3) default install, i dont see any customization.
regardless im struggling to grasp what the meme is trying to convey. :)
