   Anyone know a tool that remembers multiple dual-monitor configurations on #Debian #Ubuntu #Gnome?

   #AskFedi

   Working in a flex office before long I have 10 different combinations and it'll cost me 15min. per day to tweak stuff to look right.

     Oww, thank you all ? So many Randr-related recommendations. I'll try it out.

     No internet search suggested these to me, so fedi came to the rescue :)

     @humanetech xrandr will save them I think, you can save different configurations as config files. https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/xrandr.1.html

     @esi

     Can't yet say. I installed the UI frontend and saved my monitor configuration. The UI showed one monitor as Wayland8 and the external one as Wayland11.

     UI itself has some quirks on Gnome (flickering titlebar), but thus far seems to be fumctional.

     I may go with autorandr ultimately.

     @humanetech as someone in a similar situation, any way to do this on wayland? If I am not mistaken xrandr is x only. right?

     @humanetech I found this while looking through the autorandr issues. Seems to be a wayland alternative to autorandr. No idea what the status of it is though. https://sr.ht/~emersion/kanshi/

     humanetech repeated this.

     @humanetech Also, found this. Seems to be more Sway focused but maybe it's DE agnostic... https://gitlab.com/ragon000/srandr

     @esi anyway I found this morning that ARandR doesn't work. Connecting to same monitor config as yesterday (without using in other configs inbetween) first of all #Ubuntu totally forgot about that config, and the saved #ARandR just crashed.

     So, I will now try #Kanshi which seems to be a better candidate anyway, targeting #Wayland.
