The M1 macbooks only support 1 external monitor natively lmao
There are issues with Macs and multiple monitors, but one thing they do great is that they can easily support multiple monitors with different dpi settings and refresh rates (including variable refresh rates), which turns into a big pain in the ass to get right in Linux.
Look at this guy, never used wayland before
Wayland on Nvidia is finally getting to that "bit quirky but overall awesome" point, and it feels like my PC just got a major upgrade without switching any hardware. Absolutely buttery smooth 144hz and I love it. Plus no more having to block compositing to use my creative stuff like Blender and Krita smoothly! :D. Ride, hardware, ride!!!! HIYAH!!
The M1/2/3 Pro, Max, & Ultra chips all support multiple displays. It’s just the base model chip that doesn’t.
M3 MacBook Air supports two external screens if you close the lid.
If you get one big monitor (extra wide) that’s all you need
