There no way you're actively using 6 monitors at the same time. How many of this are just storing windows you don't look at for an hour at a time.

    It's a whole lot faster to turn my head to check on a process than to Alt-Tab 30 times hoping I don't miss the window I'm looking for.

    Though 6 monitors seems a bit nuts to me, but I don't know what he's doing.

    I can use 3 when I have some long-running tasks, or need to RDP into multiple systems. It's just easier than using a tabbed remote tool like mRemote.

    I'm the same person who also has 600 (Not an exaggeration) Chrome Firefox tabs open at a time LMAO

    It's a lot easier to just have whatever windows open on a monitor than constantly switching between windows. Sure there's 1 or 2 that just has Spotify open or whatever, but there's also ones with ya know documentation open or a browser or an IDE or RDP sessions there's also a dedicated crib monitor one as well
