To be fair I’ve been using mint, and whilst THE FUCKING MULTIMONITOR DOESN’T FUCKING WORK (Uhh I wanna punch a drywall)! otherwise it has been suprisingly smooth. Especially since it is my main computer, and I use it to burn discs for older game systems (incl. x360!!!), unity development, and a bunch of other stuff. So I have to say, it is VERY close to it just works.

Ah, that’s a dealbreaker. What causes it to fail with several monitors ?

It works but it kinda forgets the monitor layout, especially if you remove the computer from the dock while the os is sleeping.

It is a pain in the ass to set it up again, especially since it thinks it is a great idea to use the inbuilt monitor, even though the lid is shut.

Also when you undock when suspended sometimes it forgets to check after waking up, and some programs, especially fullscreen video playback has a tendency to continue on a “ghost display”

Overall it is livable but annoying especially because 33% of times it just works.

Also this is xfce. Cinamon and Mate may be much better.

Ah, xfce is the lightweight DE, right ?

And what is this dock exactly ? I’m not sure what you’re referring to.
