I bought a new monitor at home and added a second monitor in the office, so I had a lot to do with the graphics of my Linux setup.
What do you use in these cases? My preferred tool for all these operations is certainly xrandr .
In particular I’m used to use it from the command line version and after doing some tests using the syntax that i’ve found in the startup of the graphic environment.
In this article we will see some common use case.
