A reminder might be worthwhile that, unlike X11, Weyland is not a piece of software. It's a protocol.
So to be precise it would be worth pointing out which Weyland-supporting software didn't work.
>(Have been running X mutli-monitor for about 15 years now.)
The average Windows user can do multi-monitor with ease. When Windows can do something Linux can't, instead of the other way around, it's a very bad sign. Bad FreeDesktop!
That might be true, if that was indeed the case. But I haven't
had any problems using my dual 4K vertically-aligned displays using Weyland under
either KWin(KDE) or Hyprland. In both cases the config was pretty simple. It was GUI-based in the KDE settings under Display Configuration. For the other I have these super-complex three lines in ~/.config/hypr/hyperland.config:
monitor = DP-1, preferred, auto, auto
monitor = HDMI-A-1, preferred, auto-up, auto
monitor=,preferred,auto,auto
(The monitor connected by HDMI is mounted vertically above the one connected by Displayport.)
So far the setups have been rock solid on both monitors. And I am aware of tools that offer a Hyprland graphic front end to modify the text config files.
IOW ... There are a number of reasons that Omarchy won't be my daily driver but lack of multi-monitor support isn't one of them.
By the way, I too use X11 and won't switch until Wayland is a lot more ready for prime time.
Not sure what your defining moment will be. Right now the only app that is causing problems under Weyland is Discord on Hyprland. Discord works fine under Weyland KDE (using XWeyland). I've had no problems with Steam games and OBS. It's been prime time for me since I switched to Fedora KDE, If there's a specific app you'd like me to test, let me know.
