How do you use a 4k desktop? Do you just manually place windows around the screen?

Is there special software you can use to partition up the screen so that when you maximize a window it'll only take up a portion of the screen instead of all of it?

I think the most idiotic thing you could do with a resolution this big is just maximize your webbrowser over it. It sounds like such a waste of space to me.

Install an OS with good UI scaling (so, not Windows).

>good UI scaling

So, is the jist of this to have effectively the same amount of screen space as you would on a 1080p display, except double the amount of pixels for better clarity?

>4x1080p windows
Windows 7 -> aquasnap
Windows 8 and up -> drag window to corner

Fuck scaling, just get a bigger monitor if things are too small.
