    My config is close to 15 years old and I’ve never had any issue with it. What are those horrific things you speak of? How do they affect me? I have no intention to migrate away unless I’m forced by circumstance.

        I personally never got that point, because when you multi-screen, wouldn’t you specifically want two of the same model anyway because of color correction, fps and such? I know you can calibrate two different displays, but that will only get you so far and they’ll never look/feel the same.

        I am sure there are use-cases for this, but how common is it that somebody needs this feature?

        What’s much more common imo is connecting a laptop to two entirely different displays and mirroring the output and I had huge issues with Wayland in the past where it would just show half of the screen on either one, depending on resolution. Not sure if I did something wrong, but had to switch to X11 to make it work.

          That’s the thing: you shouldn’t need to get identical monitors for technical reasons. And Wayland is much closer to that goal.

      Presumably because some poor sods have been fighting to keep it going for you all this time? Do you think it just magically keeps working on it’s own without someone maintaining it?
