Hello, fellow Linux users. I have recently started using Garuda Linux about a month ago on my laptop (Dell G5) and usually connect my external monitor to it to have a dual screen setup. The problem is many times after I wake up my laptop (from opening the lid), my laptop display is working correctly but my external display is unrecognized. I usually have to unplug and plug the HDMI connector, only for nothing to happen. It’s usually the 2nd time I reconnect my HDMI connector that it works, but this logs me out of the desktop session (using XFCE btw). I am forced to re-login and applications I had open will close. I’ve been using strictly Linux for 2 years now so I’m still learning things. Thank you for your help!
