    "It even supports multiple monitors better."

    Lol what?

    In windows I can only use 3 monitors. If I open up the laptop to introduce a 4th screen in windows, a pair of my monitors will Be duplicating the dang image.

    In Mint I tried the same and it just worked, 4 individual monitors without issue.

    I run 4 on Windows and Mint on a daily basis and setting it up on Mint was a worse experience... Sounds like a you issue if you can't get it to work on Windows.

    Sounds like a you issue if you had trouble with Mint. Right click the desktop -> display settings and oh look, 4 monitors to easily configure. Sounds kind of silly without more information doesn’t it?

    My hardware at work is all Dell stuff so good chance it’s their fault. But it still doesn’t affect the Linux side.

    Funny because that's exactly the same process for Windows except that on Linux you then have to fuck around to setup the taskbar on the secondary monitors!

    Now tell me how easy it is to setup keyboard shortcuts for display profiles on Linux vs Windows considering that Monitor Profile Switcher doesn't exist on Linux.
