    At the risk of analysis paralysing you… But if you have an Nvidia video card, I would start with Pop!_OS

      I recently tried pop os but gnome did not seem reasonable for me on multiple monitors.

        Thanks for your addition! It is working fine for me, but I may have changed the config a bit from the default, don’t remember everything. I have default tiling now and that works really well.

          One of the things that is a must for me is 1 panel that shows the windows and apps per monitor. I can’t work any other way, I’m not looking to drastically change my workflow more so than Linux alone already is. My quick Google search said that it wasn’t possible on Gnome 44 and I gave up.

          That said, KDE is laggy and unresponsive. It’s also fairly unusable. Everything else besides those 2 is like going back 20 years to desktop environments of the olden days. I just want something modern that works with my workflow.

      If you have an NVIDIA video card, I would start with buying AMD or Intel instead. Attempting to use NVIDIA with Linux will result in misery.
