DE For Multi-Monitor Setup

Hack13@pawb.social to Linux@lemmy.ml – 34 points –

So I have a two monitor setup, and I really dislike how gnome only lets you have the bar on the primary screen unless you install a plugin that is very outdated and I cannot get working on the latest version of gnome or use dash to dock, and I am not a fan of the dock style...

Then with KDE is kinda nice, but then I have to keep the panel at the bottom of both monitors in sync manually for pinned items... I am just curious if this bothers others and if there is a DE that doesn't really have this issue or any workarounds people know of.

The upcoming Cosmic desktop by Pop!_OS has the exact feature you're describing.

I'm really looking forward to having sane functionality without needing a dozen extensions, and still have a couple things I just can't quite reconcile. I tried to like Plasma, but once again, I just can't stand using it for more than a month or two. And I don't have time to get a more basic compositor working the way I want, like I did back in the Fluxbox/Openbox days, especially with how complex things have become.

I really hope System76 and XFCE both hurry up.
