Tool for launching apps when monitor powers on?
could use the postswitch hook provided by autorandr, though this would require letting autorandr manage your display layout as well: https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr
-
Multiple screens with different resolutions?
autorandr worked great for me for hot plugging when I would frequently use my laptop with two external monitors.
-
update xrandr automatically when I unplug a monitor
Autorandr does run in the background as it is a daemon. For systemd integration see https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/blob/master/contrib/systemd/autorandr.service
-
Resolve multi-display oddities
I use autorandr (https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr) to load display configurations with a hotkey. I'm 100% sure there is a "better" way of doing so over my setup.

Tumbleweed KDE multiple monitor trouble - repeatedly resets to overlapped extended.
If your using X11, try autorandr. It's a bit clunky for me with the windows moving around after waking up but they eventually find where they're supposed to be... mostly.
-
Is it possible to span a desktop in multiple monitors?
I would suggest taking a look at something like autorandr to help dynamically adjust your settings when you connect/disconnect.
-
How to handle different monitor setups when using a tiling WM?
There's also autorandr that allows you to save monitor setups and automatically switch between them as you connect/disconnect displays

Permanent Xrandr settings
No, but you can save settings to script and run on login. Arandr does it with GUI. Autorandr automates and manages multiple setups.

Gnome vs KDE
Or i3 with gnome for those who don't want to code up their own monitor hotplugging, ssh/gpg agents, media hotkeys, usb drive hotplugging, screenshots, theming, ...
-
Can you recommend me a GUI settings app that would work nicely with i3?
Similarly, I just use i3-gnome-flashback and get a full set of gnome desktop environment goodies without having to do anything much.
-
My bluetooth headphones' play/pause button not working
Yet another of the long list of small reasons I run i3 within gnome-flashback.
-
Using Exwm Do you recommend it?
For me with whatever tiling WM, I am not interested in creating my own Desktop Environment, so I run it within gnome-flashback to get all the desktop niceties like hot-plugging monitors, hotkeys for media, screenshots etc., ssh/gpg agent, compose key, and many more. I am not interested in rolling my own solutions for each of these in turn, only realize what I haven't set up yet right when I need it. See exwm-gnome-flashback, or i3-gnome-flashback.
-
Considering Gnome's default flow using workspaces, should Gnome or Ubuntu offer an official tiling WM option within Gnome? (screenshots of i3wm vs. Ubuntu 20.04 w/ pop shell)
gnome-flashback is the gnome ecosystem Desktop Environment that can have any window manager swapped in. I think that is what Regolith uses since they maintain i3-gnome-flashback, that I use.
-
EXWM vs. other tiling WM
In both cases I used gnome-flashback to get a curated Desktop Environment without having to roll my own - e.g. i3-gnome-flashback and exwm-gnome-flashback.
-
Automatically detect external displays and apply config to them
In my case, i3-gnome-flashback. As a result I have the typical desktop setup where the Gnome settings panel can control the monitor layout, and it remembers previously seen monitors and restores the layout.
-
Need for advice: tiling window software
To avoid having to build your own desktop environment, you can use it within an existing DE that allows alternate window managers. I use i3-gnome-flashback.
