[β] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Ah, that's a dealbreaker. What causes it to fail with several monitors ? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] ddkman@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) It works but it kinda forgets the monitor layout, especially if you remove the computer from the dock while the os is sleeping. It is a pain in the ass to set it up again, especially since it thinks it is a great idea to use the inbuilt monitor, even though the lid is shut. Also when you undock when suspended sometimes it forgets to check after waking up, and some programs, especially fullscreen video playback has a tendency to continue on a "ghost display" Overall it is livable but annoying especially because 33% of times it just works. Also this is xfce. Cinamon and Mate may be much better. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Ah, xfce is the lightweight DE, right ? And what is this dock exactly ? I'm not sure what you're referring to. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] ddkman@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Well yeah, "lightweight". The only one that uses slightly less resources than windows 10. A docking station for a laptop? Pretty common device. A specialised port replicator. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Ok, I'm not up to speed on these things. I use several monitors on my desktop computer only. I suppose this would work better than with a laptop, in the event I chose xfce as my DE ? I don't usually hotswap monitors, they're always plugged in.
