I tried, but the DPI options in all distros I tried are too limited for my needs. I have one 4k monitor and two 1080p monitors. Zorin OS 18 only allowed me to set 200% on all screens IF they were all mirrored, so completely useless for me. I'm not using the terminal either. I want my main screen to be at 150% or so, or I can't see shit, and my side monitors to be (obviously not mirrored) at 100% DPI.

If anyone knows of a distro that allows the same settings as Windows for three monitors, please advice. I want to jump ship, I really do.

Anything Wayland and KDE allows you to do what you want

Wayland is fantastic, as long you don’t need to do screen sharing in Slack. Only thing hindering me going Wayland on my work laptop.

This used to be an issue, but has been resolved in most major applications. Are you on an "app" version of slack? Try updating it, or try using an up to date webbrowser like Firefox, or anything based on Chromium if you prefer.

My app version is up to date. Tried it a few months ago. Still black screen whenever I try to share the entire screen. Individual windows work fine. None of my coworkers have managed to make it work in Wayland.

It worked a few years ago with some workaround, but Slack patched out that workaround.

And it's specific to slack? Or do you have the same issue when sharing the screen on anything else?
