How different Linux desktops handle dual monitors

what a waste of time!!!

KDE on top tho

Hey, Could you pleae help me with setting up my dual monitor setup, I want to use my iGPU AMD for my laptops internal display, and my dGPU for my extenrnal monitor that will be connected through the HDMI. I'm using arch-linux on my HP Laptop with AMD R5, and Nvidia RTX 3050. I have tried to do these things on my own, but either my iGPU will display both the monitors or either my dGPU will only show the External Monitor. Many people are saying that X can't do this move to wayland, if I don't find a solution soon enough I will move to wayland. Thanks.

hello, how did you set up the first one, gnome 3? how did you make it so they are seperate screens?

cool, now, try to switch between two different displays, with different resolutions and sizes, for example, a 4k 55'' and a 1080p 27'', make a video showing it too.

Is Mint worth getting for gaming? I heard that people have problems with setting up multiple monitors there. It looks to work great in your video though.. just like in Windows. I have two 4k monitors. Would they work just like in your video? I've never used Linux before and I'm considering switching so that's why I have silly questions lol Maybe I should download it and try it out without installing it.. I love the looks of Mint and I've heard great things about Cinnamon.

how to rotate the second screen?

I use Ubuntu 22.04 but I miss the way unity handle multiple monitors alot

KDE is cool and all but I will die an i3-gaps enthusiast.

Thank you very much
You saved my life, thanks a lot

What's this Monitor Name for Dell?

Yeah we're talking about dual monitor support on Linux and there's mixed results, the older it is, the worst it is.

although initial system boot up with dual screens, when it went into hybernation, it booted back as single monitor

Latest Ubuntu Mate has some terrible Multi monitor support.

Nice video now i exactly know how i will get a dual monitor experience on ubntu

False! In Mint yes you can add a second toolbar. And it works perfectly!

¿what adapters did you use to connect two monitors to your gnome3 laptop?

Hermano mucho gusto me llamo Manuel Ortega, quería hacerte una pregunta.
Me sucede que tengo dos monitores y tengo mi laptop con Ubuntu 22.04 pero tengo un problema con la conexión de un monitor. Ya que solo puedo conectar uno al HDMI del pc e intento conectar el otro con un adaptador USB a HDMI pero parece que normalmente estos adaptadores no vienen con el drivers para Linux, quería saber de qué forma le conectas dos monitores a tu laptop ubuntu?

Linux Mint still cannot span wallpapers correctly on dual monitors. It resizes the image (even if its dimensions are the width of both monitors combined) and has black bars on half of each side of the monitor. I don't know why they can't get that to work correctly. In GNOME it is possible. Of course KDE can't even give the option; it's as if KDE doesn't even know you have two monitors. Setting the wallpaper background only applies it to the monitor you have the dialog box open on.

Linux mint is great, I like the design 🔥

You legend

Очень плохо, треть сказанного не соответствует действительности.

The concept is cool, but maybe you should had tested other Distros that have the "vanilla" install. For example, Ubuntu uses a lot of custom options for Gnome, and it behaves differently, so Arch or Fedora in that case?. Also tty will behave differently depending on which graphics driver you load, if you use KMS or not...

I might have it wrong with the Gnome thing tho, as I don't use Gnome or Ubuntu to test if what you did is different or not.

I think linux mint works better when you install it, anyways, try with gnome 4x on fedora

try dual monitora on deepin and you will be bugged to fk

And now try the same on monitors with different DPI and framerate. For example, fullHd 144fps + 4k 60fps

Thanks for the video!!!

why about tailing windows manager

So unity was rhe best

Xfce missing

Never been a fan of KDE, but it does well here. GNOME 3 and Cinnamon rule the roost in terms of usability for me (a newb).

Mint is so pretty

As a Linux user, this was very relatable.

The customisability of KDE is on a new level guys

Linux had issues on my Thinkpad T500 and i try 2 Differtent Kinds and I noob to Linux but hay i got qustions and i get laughed at i went back to Windows My Qustions about Screen going Srabled or glitching on open up the led Force Reboot and people laughed at Guess what it don't do that on Windows . if there was way i could have fix it or been told where to start to fixing it would be happy girl but i got treated like joke so I never use Linux Again Screw Linux and it Commutiy that how i feel

KDE for life man

Now do 100 moniers

You can add taskbar to second display on Linux mint. Just add a new panel to the second desktop and add the applet named "window list" to that panel.

gnome 3 Ubuntu have a weird screen tearing

for gnome 3/4x, you should use fedora workstation, since that's a completely vanilla version of gnome, unlike ubuntu or pop os which heavily modify it

same goes for kde -> should use kde neon
and unity -> should use ubuntu unity, which is unity on updated ubuntu
and gnome 2 -> use something that uses MATE, which is updated gnome 2

In cinnamon dual taskbar can be created/composed by adding a new panel and then add required applets to the new panel as per your requirements like window manager, calander, user widget, menu button etc...

I have that monitor on the right! also thank you for showing this beacuse i wanted to install linux on my pc.

Yo, nice monitor dude!

try divide by zero in windows 93 (in browser google)

Hi. I use Mint Lmde4 on laptop & external monitor, new to linux & dont understand cli. Are there way to play games fullscreen on one screen & working on another? The games always displayed on both screen. Thank you very much.

Also changes between wayland and x11 tho
Also, Weirdly, I dont have any of those problems on arch + KDE

GOOD CHANNEL

One issue that I have with your Kubuntu Linux install is that you didn't updated your install to get the newer plasma
