Apps and window managers understand full screen. With my wide monitori often want full height, but not full width this needs manual adjustment to work. Windows can sometimes be made full height (tripple click), but this somehow always seems to get the wrong width

I'm using most applications not in full screen mode, and don't have a lot of issues with that on windows. I think the only thing I commonly run in full screen is IDEs.

That's why I use picture-by-picture (PBP) on my 32" 4K. Two DisplayPort connected to the same computer and control them independent of each other. I also love how my Ubuntu virtual Desktop only rotates the primary screen leaving the other half static.

When needed I can fullscreen across both.

No borders!
