About 1.5 months into the LibreM laptop and I still like it a lot.
The main downside is that I haven't figured out a way to do 2 external monitors. I'm making do with one external monitor and the laptop screen. Otherwise it's been a really good experience for me and I would recommend it if you can afford it.
I tried getting a second external monitor working via a usb-c dock and then just a usb-c to vga adaptor. Neither worked, and it looks like others haven't had success with that either. https://forums.puri.sm/t/please-recommend-a-port-replicator-docking-station/1115/3?u=krad
@cwebber have you tried daisy-chaining? If your monitors support DisplayPort 1.4+ it should be possible.
I.e. single output, two screens
@notclacke @cwebber dang, okay .. one of the major advantages of DisplayPort/Thunderbolt over HDMI, really 🙁
On top of that the Intel card (or possibly it was CPU-integrated graphics) in the laptop wouldn't support the laptop screen at the same time, because it was limited to three screens only.
@notclacke @cwebber This DELL does it pleasantly well: http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-24-ultrasharp-monitor-u2415/apd/210-agsu/monitors-monitor-accessories
Has two sets of DP/mDP ports for exactly that purpose.
@notclacke @cwebber And yes, pretty much all internal Intel cards only support up to 2 external screens to my knowledge, 3 if you turn off the laptop screen. It's a GPU bound limitation.
