Just giggled as my last meme mentioned trouble with displays and appropriately, a large chunk of the replies were “well MY displays work just fine!” (And charmingly, many were thoughts of things to check, other distros etc. It’s a very kind community, though that may also be the fediverse.)

    I’ve had issues with wildly mismatched display sizes: 13" netbook docked to a 72" monitor.

    …while I had “mirror my display” enabled…

    Even then, I’ve only seen any issue in a few niche proprietary apps.

    And rest assured, my life partner already makes fun of me for enabling “mirror displays” in this setup.

    It actually mostly just works though!

      I see.
      I haven’t tried mirrored displays (just never needed it). Perhaps I can try that out if I get a different size/res monitor.
      My 100Hz display can do 60Hz, so I am expecting it to just drop to that when I mirror them with this setup.
