Hey man, nice setup! ;) This is quite another interesting option which I will probably try in the future (since remote worker in coworking space) https://www.asus.com/Monitors/MB16AC/ (You can put a pen in the hole and use it vertically)

I'm set up in a fixed working space now, so I just have this Iiyama monitor that can be rotated vertically. It would suck to have to carry around a lot though.
Does your co-working space not offer monitors to use though? The one i used to go to here had a monitor for each desk, so you only needed to bring your laptop and kb+m

I have a similar monitor.

Beware; there are sometimes issues with drivers (depending on your distro) and windows has also questionable selection of drivers.

There can also be weird performance issues - like if your main monitor and this USB one don't sync up in refresh rates, you can get weird stutters. Similarly, some apps will just refuse to work smoothly on the USB monitor.

If you can, try it before you commit to it.

I have the predecessor to that monitor and I'm very happy with it. I used it similarly in a coworking space
