What's wrong with multiple monitors with macOS?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)
  1. M1 only supports 1 extra monitor. (M1 pro does support two, but only through an expensive thunderbolt dock or through two cables from different USB/TB ports.
  2. No volume adjustment of external monitors if they are not from Apple.

There are maybe many more (maybe no window snapping like windows if you count that), but those are the issues that I noticed.

You are saying absolute shit

M1 supports one external 4K display on laptop, two on the mini

M1 Pro supports 2 external 6K displays on laptop, 3 on the mini

You can extend any M1 Capability with an external hub.

Furthermore, you are comparing Linux (an Operating System) to the M1 (hardware). That’s stupid.

Yea, they key here being 4K. Try connecting 1080p or 1440p which normal people tend to have around and you get terrible scaling.
