I prefer two cheaper flat monitors side by side. When I need to I temporarily hook one up to a Raspberry Pi or whatever and look at it and my PC at the same time. There might be a way to splice two machines into one super-wide monitor, but this is dead simple.
I originally bought my superwide monitor to hook two machines into side by side. They generally have two sets of inputs that makes this easy.
If you're working in the Linux console alone, you could also
sshinto your Pi and, for instance, have your local machine on virtual consoletty1and the Pi ontty2, switching between them with ALT+Fx. Still only one monitor. ๐Ah but how do you enable ssh if you've forgotten to enable it (again!) from the initial firmware load on the SD card...?
Lol. Been there, done that. ๐ 'twas a long time ago now, but was it not simply naming a file ssh or sshd and putting it in the root directory? But then you'd have to have created a non superuser user and set a password too? Ah... My memory fails me. Better luck doing:
What is this gif from? I recall seeing a longer version i wish i'd saved
I wish I knew... I just searched for "ritual" :/
Now that I think about, you could use a dual HDMI picture-in-picture setup off of the same gpu and you would get a second monitor contiguous with the first, and you can set and forget for your Raspberry Pi projects.
