The thing that’s fucking me up in the last month since I switched is the fact that when I press Windows Key + P to switch Displays to just my second monitor (when I want to use my consoles), switching it back causes KDE to count the monitors as separated for some reason. Like they are virtually spaced apart, so I’m stuck in one monitor instead of being able to use both. It also resets my second monitor to the primary one for some reason. Very strange, never an issue on Windows.
And I used to solve this back in the day with a KDE Widget that added Display Profiles as a function and I could press a button to switch them on the fly, unfortunately it hasn’t been updated in five years and it only works on X11 and not Wayland.
why do you need to switch? win+p is the switch between mirrored and joined mode right? why not just let the system handle it?
i too have a few consoles and i use a hdmi switch before monitor 1 and on the 2nd monitor i sometimes switch between hdmi and vga for an older pc, but i just let pop do whatever

I feel your pain; I still have that widget in my systray as a memorial…
Did you find any other comparable solutions out of curiosity? Annoying, but obviously not a deal breaker to make me go back to Windows!
