That's why I'm running GrapheneOS, where I can actually disable things.

They don't want you to disable things they can make money off of you with.

It's good enough to work, but that's pretty much all you'll get. In many aspects each monitor isn't treated separately by the DE. For example you only have one task bar and each screen gets an exact copy of it. Any minimized window will appear on all the task bars on all your screens no matter what screen that window was from. Right there it's a big turnoff for me. I don't remember the details but just getting a different desktop background for each screen needed a workaround solution as well. They clearly didn't allocate any resources for the multiple display user experience. And now that I've gotten a taste of the insane customizability of KDE Plasma I don't think I'll be able to go back. 6.2 added a layer of polish to the experience that made it perfect for my uses. Which is a shame because Mint was pretty solid otherwise.

I haven't tried xfce and mate on a multi display setup so I don't know. But these seemed to be simpler, being made to be lightweight for less powerful setups so I wouldn't expect them to be as advanced as Plasma for that.

If Mint ever supported KDE plasma 6.2 I'd consider switching back to Mint. I just can't stand how Cinnamon doesn't give a crap about multi display users and gives them a "There. Good enough. Fuck you." solution.

Seriously though. Fuck Nvidia.

My PC is getting old and I might replace it in about a year whenever I can get an OK GPU for a reasonable amount of money again.

I've built my own PCs since the late 90's and this will be the first time I will not install Windows on a computer I built. Get fucked Microsoft.

I have my phone set so it sets itself to vibrate when it disconnects from my home WiFi. It turns the notification sounds back up when it reconnects. I've never had to worry about it again.

I mean, it is a goldmine of gullible people after all....

It becomes obnoxious no matter what it is when they're having a text conversation with someone and it's going off constantly

 

Bobbing their heads at every step. How ridiculous must have that looked if it was the case.

 

I am running multiple screens from different brands. Because they are not the same, they must be set to different brightness values to look the same.

The problem is that whenever I boot up, the Plasma brightness setting is changed, or Night Light kicks in, Plasma sets all my screens to the same value. This results in one screen being too bright and the other too dark. Every time this happens I must change the value back manually in my screen's built-in menu, which is annoying.

In the Gamma settings panel there appears to be an upcoming feature where different screens can be set to different values but it is grayed out for the moment (running Plasma 6.0.4 on Tumbleweed).

How do I disable this feature while I'm waiting for the ability to set individual brightness values to individual screens to come around?
