From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well, I also tend to consider ultrawide monitors a mistake in their own right. Why would you want a 49" wide literally anything if it's not some kind of immersive media experience where menus are irrelevant anyway?
Of course, if that is in fact exactly what you bought it for, I have no complaints. Even if I disagree with having one for other purposes, that's still no reason for the OS to punish you for having one when you try to use it that way when that problem is completely avoidable.
A 49" ultrawide is just two 27" bezel-less basically. And games that support 5120 horizontal resolution look amazing.
