Is it hard to get two monitors running on Arch w/ i3wm? I can't really read another bullshit thing about microsoft again and thats all I am worried about for the switch.
Hey, I used to use that before switching to sway a few years ago. It isn't hard at all: There is not a single line in my config concerned with monitors, it just works by default.
I've moved to Arch like a month ago, first installed i3, I think you'll only need xrandr and setup some hooks that set/reset xrandr on the screen plug/unplug, if you ALWAYS have two screens plugged in, you can execute xrandr on X startup and that's all about it
