  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    The thing that's fucking me up in the last month since I switched is the fact that when I press Windows Key + P to switch Displays to just my second monitor (when I want to use my consoles), switching it back causes KDE to count the monitors as separated for some reason. Like they are virtually spaced apart, so I'm stuck in one monitor instead of being able to use both. It also resets my second monitor to the primary one for some reason. Very strange, never an issue on Windows.

    And I used to solve this back in the day with a KDE Widget that added Display Profiles as a function and I could press a button to switch them on the fly, unfortunately it hasn't been updated in five years and it only works on X11 and not Wayland.

    I feel your pain; I still have that widget in my systray as a memorialโ€ฆ

    [โ€“] Hyrulian 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Did you find any other comparable solutions out of curiosity? Annoying, but obviously not a deal breaker to make me go back to Windows!

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

    No, I didn't, and it's not for lack of trying. I have a jank setup where I have one HDMI output directly to my TV (for VRR and 4K HDR) and another to my A/V receiver (for surround sound), with the latter needing to be enabled as a "dummy" monitor in order to have audio; this is in addition to my primary physical monitor, so the Meta-P shortcut is entirely out of the question for me, period. For the time being, I just have to manually enable/disable/position monitors.

    why do you need to switch? win+p is the switch between mirrored and joined mode right? why not just let the system handle it?
    i too have a few consoles and i use a hdmi switch before monitor 1 and on the 2nd monitor i sometimes switch between hdmi and vga for an older pc, but i just let pop do whatever

    [โ€“] Hyrulian 1 points 6 days ago

    Oh it's because I don't have a proper HDMI switch, I'm using the three inputs on one monitor, so unless I switch the output manually thru the monitor, it won't automatically switch to the console. The solution for this is to select Laptop screen under the win+p menu in KDE
