Edit: I’m glad so many of you have had no issues with multiple monitors. My set up is a little unusual (3rd display is an infrequently used large tv hooked through the receiver) and is definitely solveable but will take some effort (and honestly, I’d rather spend my spare time outside or with friends, so who knows when I’ll fix it.)
Social gatherings? Like, with actual people together in one space, talking to each other? I’m not buying it.
My third display is a TV plugged straight into my Nvidia HDMI. It’s mounted on the wall above my other two monitors on the desk. I watch Jellyfin on it. I don’t watch broadcast, but that’s on a different input anyway. I’m wondering what issues you’re having. It just works on Mint.
Ahahaha!
Yeah, Mint as well. From my reading it’s because I have an additional layer, my tv goes to the stereo receiver and from there links into the computer. Unfortunately, the receiver tells the computer when it’s shut off but not when it’s turned on or somesuch. So, right now I’ve “solved” the issue by disabling the auto shut off. But it means the computer always thinks three monitors are on and engaged. Which causes issues as my primary is the desktop monitor etc. Nothing outrageous but one of those tweaks I’d like to make. And unlike Windows, it’s a tweak I know I can make.
