So, not so long ago I have made a switch from Win 10 to Linux Mint on my older laptop. I like it, and I have decided to switch to Linux also on my main desktop (to be honest, I’ve realized I don’t actually do anything Windows-specific I can’t do on Linux). I am thinking of trying Debian. I know it’s not the best for total newbies, but I am willing to commit time to learn a thing or two to make it work to my needs (which are not many). I am just worried - would I be able to setup up my two monitors to work? From what I read, it’s not that easy, so that worries me a bit (although, it’s nothing which would stop me from the switch). Can anyone provide an opinion about it, please? Many thanks in advance.
I think this is not a debian question, but a DE one.
Anyway, it depends on what you want to do with your monitors. If its just extending the workplace, then it couldnt be easier. Im using debian with kde since 2012, connecting N monitors is pretty straightforward. Plug, config, enjoy.
If you want to do something more advanced, like handling the monitors as separate workspaces, or opening certain apps on certain screens you may need to change the DE… in that case it’s pretty easy*, but you need a ton of time and probably a tilemanager-DE
