Edit: I’m glad so many of you have had no issues with multiple monitors. My set up is a little unusual (3rd display is an infrequently used large tv hooked through the receiver) and is definitely solveable but will take some effort (and honestly, I’d rather spend my spare time outside or with friends, so who knows when I’ll fix it.)

    I’m another data point where displays work under Linux better than Windows, making this particular example amusingly wrong.

    This is a Dell precision laptop with a dual usb-c connected docking station. Intel cpu plus a discrete nvidia gpu.

    Using Cinnamon in X11 on Linux Mint or LMDE, works great.

    Using KDE Plasma in Wayland on Debian? Works great!

    Using Windows 10? Bzzzt.

    I think I’ve had Linux DEs occasionally forget my monitor order & rotation just like Windows would, but out of the box Windows wouldn’t even use all my monitors.
