> Wayland is a protocol. It has nothing to do with multi screen support. You're talking about the compositor you used. The one I use handles multi-screen setups quite well.
Which compositor do you use?
Which compositor do you use?
There have been 3 issues I've had regarding it, 2 I'd call minor:
- I haven't found a way to rearrange external displays, though it is theoretically supported
- After a bug in my TV switching to the lowest possible resolution through switching the input in home assistant it would not work with 4K again until after a complete reboot (so it may not even be a wlroots issue)
- XWayland apps are unresponsive in the upper half of the second screen (4K at 1x scaling)
Using mostly native Wayland apps neither of these have been deal breakers for me. Something under-discussed is that virtual desktops are per-screen, which I find quite cool.
So that's my adventure with Wayfire, but I would assume that Gnome and KDE have perfected multi-screen usage on and off of Wayland by now.

Seems to be a bit of a dealbreaker for people who want to use 100 percent of their screen instead of only 75 percent.
Also, is there a chance your 4K screen has negative coordinates? It is well known that Xwayland does not react if an output has negative coordinates (or at least partly negative coordinates).
