I’ve tried moving to Linux but the simple task of using my laptop closed with a second screen was impossible so I went back to Windows 10. I will give Linux a try next year again…or but a Macbook

Works for me, with 2 external screens and a Thunderbolt docking station.

I am trying to do this with HDMI connected but once I close the laptop the external screen is reduced to a 1 FPS laggy mess. I have a laptop with 2 GPUs (1 in the CPU and a discrete one) and tried everything...no luck

Dual GPUs is asking for trouble on Linux. Mine is just regular Intel integrated graphics.

I have also tried my work laptop on the same docking station setup though, and it uses an Nvidia GPU. It seemed to work fine too. I suspect the dual GPU is not well supported on Linux.
