Linux Distros
After trying various distros, finally found something that works!
| Distro | Good | Bad |
|---|---|---|
| Elementary OS | Sleek looks, Mac like! | Software Support not great |
| Pop OS | Quick install etc | Couldn't get multimonitor to work via dock, driver install failed |
| Ubuntu Budgie | Clean minimalist desktop env | Multimonitor finally works with DisplayLink driver setup, see below |
