I thought Mac had it better than Linux. But after reading this... Anyway, I'm hopeful the situation for Linux will improve over the coming years with Wayland more-and-more becoming the default (so more people use it, and more will put effort to make it better) AND being a better foundation for building multi-monitor goodness on top (Xorg was getting old). Would Windows do a better job at this than Mac? (havent used Windows in decades)

I have nearly zero problems with multi monitor setups under Wayland. I did experiment my monitors rearranging themselves once, and there was an interesting glitch regarding maximizing windows in displays that aren't horizontally aligned (that is now fixed), but beyond that I cannot recall any issues ever with Wayland multi display.

  which DE? my issues were on KDE. i had also that the windows on a just unplugged monitor are not moved to a still active monitor. this used to work on Wayland.

> Would Windows do a better job at this than Mac? (havent used Windows in decades) I mean Windows doesn't have many of the issues that the article mentions, but Windows fails at being a Mac.
