My (very) old PowerBook G4 had a 1024x768 screen. Back then no one was watching movies on them. Have you tried rotating your monitor? You might have to tweak or disable sub-pixel antialiasing

I think the main thing is i want to remain focused, having a smaller screen area only affords me point of attention (usually vim and nothing else) i occasionally use wide mode for a time blocking calendar next to my window.
It's unfortunate that emacs is so hard to get into. It naturally combines all of those things
Genera also had that aesthetic: huge, mostly square screen with only a few focused areas (here: docs, a table of contents, bookmarks, and a shell prompt)
yeah for sure, i liked spacemacs when i used it. but my pursuit for a minimal and aescetic dev environment made me abandon all of its complexity.
now i just use vim + and trie-key-sequence command launcher with fzf and a text file of commands
Duh I am normies don’t understand what you said 🫠
