Damn now I have to boycott an entire video connector.

In a multi monitor set up, when a screen connected to display port goes to sleep my computer treats it like that screen was disconnected - meaning all my open applications get shoved from one screen to another. I've also used HDMI to avoid that.

    On the other hand, when I turn off my second monitor (on HDMI), all my apps stay on that screen, meaning I have to manually move them over to my main monitor where I can actually see them.

    And if my DisplayPort monitor is off and everything's on my second monitor, when I turn the main one back on all the windows go back to where they used to be (al least on Plasma Wayland).

    That's interesting, though not my experience. If a monitor is turned off then the PC picks up that it has disconnected.

    The scenario I described occurs when the OS (Windows) sleeps the screen after inactivity. It could be a function of the laptop, of the monitor, or of the cables. In my set up using HDMI over display port solves it.
