      Hello
      I just have discovered AntiX linux and test it to install on a old 32 bits laptop
      currently I test it on a 64 bits laptop with an external monitor
      I would like the main screen with menu bar on the external monitor , but I have not found the software to set up screens

      regards

        Hi, wormsf.

        You can change which is the primary display (the one with the toolbar) and the monitor disposition from the Control Centre. In the “sessions” section, launch the “Set Screen Resolution (ARandR)” program, and change the monitors to your preferred disposition.

        After applying the changes, you can save the disposition. Save it to the default folder with the name already present in that folder (overwrite the file there). It will load this disposition on every reboot (if running live, it will only save the configuration if you have enabled root or home persistence).

        Regards,
