and this is why linux is gaining so much market share in the desktop space so quickly.

Is it? I still have yet to try a distro that works properly with multiple monitors and supports all the software I have.

[โ€“] zShxck@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago (8 children)

For multimonitor setup you need to use Wayland and not X11

[โ€“] cymor@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been running multi monitor setups on Xorg for decades.

[โ€“] zShxck@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

X11 can support multimonitor but it will break if the monitors have different resolutions. That's why I suggested to use Wayland.

[โ€“] Nobug404@geddit.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah. I use X11 with a 2k and an ultra wide. No problems at all.

[โ€“] zShxck@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

There are a lot of cases that having different resolution can cause issues. I am glad you didn't have problem but this doesn't apply for everyone unfortunately
