Funny because Plasma was the only desktop I tried which game me weird monitor issues
Even Windowmaker worked flawless for me, and my XFCE(Desktop) / i3wm(Laptop) never failed with 3+ monitors
Yeah, KDE was also my first DE but immediately switched to Gnome for 3 Years. Till now after having an AMD card. I guess a lot has changed, i also got way too much issues years back then with Nvidia.
I also saw a difference shortly before switching to AMD with animations on KDE (Gnome went nice with Nvidia). They were either loading, caching or just lagging or smth when hitting the Overview feature (Similar to Gnome super button). This small uncomfy issue instantly went away with AMD for unknown reason.
I’ve been messing with this on and off for a few years now and I still haven’t seen support for multiple monitors running at different scaling levels (like running a 4K monitor at 125% alongside a 1080p monitor at 100%). This is a feature I use in Windows on one of my setups. I hope this gets some attention soon. I run Linux on most of my machines but this problem still gets in my way on others.
Plasma on Wayland can do that I’m pretty sure, and if you don’t have an Nvidia GPU Wayland is fine nowadays. Hell, even if you have an Nvidia GPU it’s mostly fine nowadays.
Its more of a Desktop thing rather than Linux. If you use the right Desktop like Plasma then you have no issues at all.
I really don’t see any problems with Multi monitor, I actually have more issues with Windows 11 right now in terms of multiple Displays
Samesies. Using three monitors on KDE for about 2 years now with no issues.
Yeah, its so easy to trash against Linux as a whole giant one thing, just because there is a kernel in your System called Linux.
Ah shit, Linux is so trash! I can’t even put the taskbar at the top or install a normal Firefox as Default browser! Ah wait… thats just ChromeOS

Okay thanks, I haven’t tried Wayland on that machine (which has an Nvidia card) but I’ll give it a go! Appreciate the help.
Its very fine with Nvidia too
Then use Wayland, its there, its the default and KDE and Gnome should have each their own solution to this feature so you may compare them.
