On laptop, sometimes attached to a larger screen. I estimate that I've spent 10 hours last year on finding and tinkering the best fit software for my use case. But perhaps we have to consider that I've been using Linux in some form since 1996, so it's very possible that I've grown calluses all over the place. External monitor plugging/unplugging works amazingly well, I'd almost say perfectly. I don't think that it required any configuration from me. I use Displayport over USB-C, and I don't remember it failing ever. Specifically it works much much better than xorg ever did. I have two different Thinkpads: T490 and E14/AMD.
