OpenSUSE: Never got to test it on multi monitors actually. Plus I'm really not used to the different commands.

KDE is also not picking up the super key (Windows icon key) out of the box, while Cinnamon is.

It's so awesome, my wife won't use OS X or Windows any more, and she is far from even being a "power user."I think Unity is bloody fantastic.
C-A_99 wrote:Looks like XFCE is out of the question for me. I want to be able to just unplug the laptop from the display device when done, not run a script and then unplug it. If I forget to run the script, I'd have to run back up to the display device to plug back in so that I can even access it. (That is, if I'm set to display only, or if something's getting clipped off.) I actually encountered a problem with this one time, where I was giving a presentation for school and had to use the projector, but I unplugged without doing the configurations first, and had to reboot to get the desktop back.
