The left-side taskbar in Windows 11 offers an excellent experience in a multi-monitor setup

I’ve always been used to having the taskbar at the bottom, but recently I saw someone on Reddit using a left-side taskbar layout, so I gave it a try. It turned out to be surprisingly good on a dual-monitor setup—not only is it more efficient, but it also looks more balanced. Best of all, many apps look more natural with the taskbar on the left; for example, Discord’s left-side menu pairs very well with the taskbar.
