From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My old procedure with the monitors, pre xfce, was an xrandr script. But I didn't bother with positioning so the mouse goes straight across going from one monitor to another... you can probably do it but that was enough xrandr for me.
xfce-no-desktop also gives me media keys, although the audio keys are broken in pipewire now. At least screen dimming keys work.
Yeah I run an xrandr profile generated by arandr. It just seems really brittle. My monitor is also my kvm switch between machines so there's a lot of input swapping and it doesn't always behave.
