Well, multi-monitor handling is something that Windows is very good at (compared to OSX or common Linux WMs). It correctly remembers window positions, etc., you don't have ridiculous limitations of cross-monitor window positioning like OSX. Windows 10's is going to be a big jump forward in that as well.
Exotic (tiling) WMs under Linux can be very good if someone takes the time to set them up, however, standard Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon are all inconvenient.
- reitanqild 12y agoMy Linux boxen using KDE, Gnome and Cinnamon has been handling multi monitor setups almost[0] flawlessly[1] since I don't know 2005 maybe? [0]: occational problems related to updates [1]: as long as the setup is static and I'm not docking/undocking, connection projectors etc.
- snassar 12y ago"standard Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon are all inconvenient." I work and travel with Kubuntu and part of my routine is hooking up god-awful monitors, projects and whatnot and for the most part, I don't see a problem with convenience. I haven't particlularly looked at issues of Window position because I expect it to change from site to site.
