How is Fedora on a dual screen setup? (feddit.nl)

So I have played around with Fedora (GNOME edition) in a VM for a bit and I liked it, it especially seems really nice if you only have one screen. However, I have two screens and I can't really see how it would work on a dual screen setup. So does anyone know how it is to use the GNOME edition on two screens, or would I be better off with Fedora KDE?

Also the screens are a 34" ultrawide (mainly used for games) with a regular 27" screen centrally above the ultrawide (mainly used for things I need to look at while gaming).

Fedora works just fine with two screens. You'd choose a primary screen, and you can choose the placement so the mouse will travel between screens with ease. I ran it for years like that. Let us know if you have any specific questions about the way something would work.

You can choose whether workspaces apply to both screens or just a primary screen (so if, for example, you want the smaller screen to be static while you multi-task you can).

My setup is a ThinkPad attached to a larger external monitor, mainly I use the one screen but occasionally I'll use the ThinkPad screen as a second screen - all works seamlessly and you can configure it how you like.
