This one's weird.
GPU issue? Or something with older OS?
I use KDE and have never seen a similar problem.
Sure, stuff may get wonky, but crashing windows on monitor detection is a big deal.
I have a Framework laptop (Intel GPU) with Arch and KDE, and while I’ve never seen all windows crash when connecting an external monitor, I wouldn’t call it out of the ordinary for one or two to crash after I connect one, especially if I try to drag one to a new position right after.
I never had such a problem with my old laptop (which had a burnt out nVidia GPU and was running on the Intel iGPU), so could it be a regression with Wayland.
I gotta check this out. Guess I'm going to wear down a DP connector this week!
I can no longer check it on the Laptop though (died), but on my AMD system, so at least if the problem is actually KDE, it should show up. Otherwise, I'll just count myself unlucky and unable to reproduce.
It's a ThinkPad X1 Carbon Generation 10. I also have issues with the fan going to max at random times and generally a bad time when trying to hook it up to its docking station.
See also some previous threads I've written, here and here.
And that's ~2 years old too, so Ubuntu should usually not be a problem.
Interesting.
