I&#39;d wager that Plasma with SDDM as the login manager would fix all of those issues. Even the ugliness of Libreoffice. And given you&#39;re a Mac guy, you&#39;d just be way more comfortable in a Plasma environment anyway.</p>

@kev@fosstodon.org I don't have an issue with my fedora laptop connecting to my monitor through a USB4 hub. If you're using a hub, does it require drivers for DisplayLink or anything? Dell likes to use that
