You're a monster
Also permanently enabled Desktop mode on browser.
But I also increased minimum width in developer settings from default 395dp to 705dp. 600dp and above is considered a tablet by apps. Fits so much content on 1 screen.
Is it comfortable? From my experience landscape suffers from issues like the ui taking up a lot more screen space and the keyboard being hard to use.
That depends on what apps you use. But for example YouTube app in tablet mode looks nicer in landscape:
In phone mode you can only view comments/live chat in portrait mode.

Google Photos

YouTube
