Linux desktop should detect second display as a secondary monitor

matt_schwartzOP•3/25/24, 4:27 PM

I think the main issue would be touchscreen input and whether or not that touchpad actually works correctly across the displays

KKid is toolbox removed in most of the ublue images?

Kyle Gospo•3/25/24, 4:30 PM

I believe I remove it, we mainly focus on distrobox because it does the same task without the limitations

Kyle Gospo•3/25/24, 4:30 PM

I don't believe the main images or Bluefin remove it

if it wasn't an Asus it wouldn't be hard

hotdog•3/25/24, 4:32 PM

afaik Lenovo makes laptops like that aswell and they sell it under enterprise namebrands which technically means guaranteed Ubuntu support

matt_schwartzOP•3/25/24, 4:32 PM

I tried one of the dual screen Lenovos and it was not pretty on Linux tbh

hotdog•3/25/24, 4:33 PM

you'd have to look at specifically something with a Think

name on it

hotdog•3/25/24, 4:33 PM

since those are the only ones that actually come with Linux drivers

hotdog•3/25/24, 4:33 PM

ThinkBook, ThinkPad, etc.

matt_schwartzOP•3/25/24, 4:35 PM

unfortunately yeah, but that also means you’re pigeonholing yourself out of a lot of cool devices.

matt_schwartzOP•3/25/24, 4:36 PM

and there isn’t much in the way of community fixes for laptops outside of gaming models for both Lenovo legion models and asus ROG models, at least not that I was finding

matt_schwartzOP•3/25/24, 4:36 PM

there’s some but it’s sparse just due to the sheer amount of devices that get put out by the manufacturers

Hey everyone. I recently installed bazzite-gnome on my steam deck, and I noticed I can't use the settings in desktop mode to set the buttons as shortcuts. Why is that, and what does each button do?
