I’ve tried moving to Linux but the simple task of using my laptop closed with a second screen was impossible so I went back to Windows 10. I will give Linux a try next year again…or but a Macbook
- flipbrad 4y agoI'm sorry this doesn't work for you. It has worked fine for me for years.
- Symbiote 4y agoChange the setting for what happens when you close the laptop. You need to do the same on Windows and MacOS. I remember finding the latter very confusing the first time I tried to play a movie with a projector connected and the lid closed. It would sleep, unless I first connected an external keyboard.
- nunodonato 4y agoI do that everyday, works fine
- midoridensha 4y agoWorks for me, with 2 external screens and a Thunderbolt docking station.
- aquir 4y agoI am trying to do this with HDMI connected but once I close the laptop the external screen is reduced to a 1 FPS laggy mess. I have a laptop with 2 GPUs (1 in the CPU and a discrete one) and tried everything...no luck
- midoridensha 4y agoDual GPUs is asking for trouble on Linux. Mine is just regular Intel integrated graphics. I have also tried my work laptop on the same docking station setup though, and it uses an Nvidia GPU. It seemed to work fine too. I suspect the dual GPU is not well supported on Linux.
