From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Never quite understood this complaint tbh. I use Windows at work and I find the blanked out screens look weirder than just having the login screen everywhere
I wouldn't care about something showing on all monitors, if it wasn't that it somehow insists on focusing the wrong monitor altogether. I have a stacked setup (2x23" on top, single 34" UW on the bottom) and it keeps focusing my top right monitor. Right now it just kind of throws its hands in the air and goes "welp, here's three times the exact same clock and set of inputs, figure it out yourself" and that's it.
It's just slightly confusing because (1) I don't know what screen the cursor is on, and (2) since they're out of order, trying to use a specific one is a little confusing.
