Thanks for sharing. Why at home? Is it simply your main setup, so you got rid of external displays thanks to it? I'd have thought that in a situation where you can easily use regular displays, these were still preferable.

I'm surprised that you find it comfortable enough for 6+ hours, especially since you probably need to keep it plugged in. I thought the consensus was that for most users it was hard to keep them on even for just a whole movie.

I'm also using it at home and the office or coworking spaces. Having the giant ultra wide screen all the time is great, and then I usually break out a handful of apps to the side (calendar, Slack, etc) and keep my desktop to almost entirely coding and sometimes browsing (sometimes use the VisionOS Safari instead). I like the setup and it's something I struggle to get with traditional monitors. Add widgets that persist their location has been awesome too.

It's definitely comfortable enough, though I got a different strap. I'm plugged in most of the time, and at home I'll wear it when I get up to pee/grab coffee.
