Will you guys ever produce a "wide screen" version of your laptop? If so, you have another customer.

  Obviously manufacturers haven't been eradicating useful screen ratios for no reason, I've just never seen anyone publicly admit to being the cause. Would you also like to take the blame for glossy screens, chicklet keyboards, and non-replaceable batteries?

    > Obviously manufacturers haven't been eradicating useful screen ratios for no reason For me 16:9/10 is way more "useful" than 3:2/4:3 ever was (had that for ages, wouldn't go back). I love being able to have two different things side-by-side, e.g. an editor and a terminal, on a 13" screen, at a font size I can still read well. I definitely wouldn't buy a square-ish laptop screen.

      And I'll take anything that's more square than 16:9 personally. 16:9 is great if I wanna watch movies all day, unfortunately for the apparently unaware laptop industry, I need to also work a little bit sometimes. Thankfully Apple never jumped on the stupid 16:9 bandwagon with their laptops. Now if only some monitor manufacturer would wake up and start making 27"+, 16:10, 4K+ monitors with 120hz+ refresh rate then I'll literally instantly buy 5.

        > Apple never jumped on the stupid 16:9 bandwagon with their laptops This is not entirely true :) The MacBook Air 11" was 16:9.

        Fair enough, and that may not be the only machine for all I know, but what I meant was that in general Apple tends to go for 16:10 which I love.

      A poor cope for being forced to use a media consumption format. In order to make full use of the ratio ill-suited to productive work, you are compelled to adopt a specific workflow involving two windows being open at all times. Great, that stackoverflow search page can stay open. Do yourself a favor: pivot one of your cursed resolution monitors and open a source file on it in full screen. That is how many text rows you lost in the war on general purpose computing.

    I actually hate that I don’t have many options for glossy screens for the desktop, who can I blame for that?

  Widescreen laptops were a phase, but they're rapidly falling out of fashion. Being able to see more text (webpages, news articles), and longer lists (email inbox, code) is more important to more people than having a laptop that can watch movies. Split-screening on a laptop is rough no matter the dimensions. In the best case scenario you have a wide laptop and you see two panes, but a miniscule amount of rows on each pane. Squarish laptops have been a breath of fresh air for me.

Thank you for doing this! I've been following different posts on NixOS and how different folks have managed to get things working on NixOS.
