I have set the monitor in the “Display and Monitor” section in the system settings. However, it won’t make the change from my second monitor. I have worked with ChatGpt and Claude to search through Xorg, Wayland, Xandr, KDE Plasma, SDDM, and Nvidia settings. The issue still persists. Everything shows that the monitor I want as primary is set, however, the second monitor stays the same.
This is a fresh install.
I have searched through the forum and could find nothing regarding this issue
