When I can read of successful install/use systems where there at least
4 monitorsI know I'm safe (have 5 monitors) . Then I have found that Gnome
and I just don't work well together - - - - so gtk can force wayland
and that's ok
- - - - I only use some applications that call for gtk - - - - dunno
why I find Gnome
so awkward but it just feels weird and the size of KDE is off-putting.
I've been using first LXDE and for quite a few years now LXQT - - - find its
working ok for me.
(Except when I found that I could have more virtual desktops than my DE liked
- - - grin! KWIN is even more restrictive though!!!)
