But what I'm trying to do is beyond any window manager. I was trying to play with the "tiling" of different display inputs from different sources. One input from my desktop and one from my work laptop. The monitor can display those two inputs side by side just fine, but I wanted it to split the screen 80-20 between the inputs instead of the default 50-50, which can only be done by the monitor firmware. Some monitors have that feature, but apparently mine can only do that when both inputs are coming from the same source, which is... meh. Why mess around with 2 inputs coming from the same computer when any major OS in 2023 has decent tiling capabilities already?
I mainly want to be able to adjust the split of the picture-by-picture mode. By the default, the monitor splits the display 50-50 between the two inputs. It can, or at least should according to the official documentation that I currently have open in another tab, change that ratio but apparently that can only be done through the control software.
edit: nvm, turns out it can only adjust that ratio when connected to the same computer. And only on windows and mac. Meh.
I'm familiar with the tiling options on Linux.
