So, I'm coming to learn that about Nvidia. I figured with the 3080 being a few years old now things would be alright. I was wrong.
It was a strange one. I had never seen anything like it before. It could still see the hardware, but listed it as unclaimed. Nothing I could do would get it to start working. When I finally decided to reinstall, I figured I'd try a different distro.
I'd prefer separate windows for each monitor. I tried both ways but it really didn't like my setup.
I tried Remmina and it wasn't working either. I couldn't even get it to connect using the same settings as RDP free.
I agree. The majority of my issues come down to the manufacturers. I even updated my BIOS to see if it would help with the ACPI issues, but no luck. Motherboard is 3 years old, so it's not like I'm trying this on brand new hardware either.
Guess I should have said love USB, but some old habits die hard. Either way having to go in and disable ACPI just to get it to boot is not something most people would be comfortable with.
I did try using the spam, same issues. I tried only using 2 of them and other combinations. Unfortunately no luck.
I use multiple monitor RDP in Windows on a daily basis. I want to keep my work and personal systems separate, but love having 4 monitors. So I just RDP into my work laptop from my desktop. It was buggy in the past, but I've been using this setup for a few years now and it's been seamless in Windows 10 & 11.
I've been using Sideload Channel Launcher since they started putting ads on the home screen. It's a simple clean layout that is easy to set up and get everything you want on it. It even has a icon you can add for power settings.
At least they give you a slip button, unlike Paramount+
It certainly made me think back to my early days of fighting IRQ conflicts in Windows ME. Or trying to get a LAN party going with mixtures of 98, 98 SE, and ME. And getting excited about the troubleshooting. I guess all these years later I've just gotten salty.
