Boot to blank screen or laggy monitors? Here is what worked for me.
My experience with the display link was not present. After first installing it, I was greeted with a blank screen on boot, and after I managed to bypass that I got extremely laggy monitors.
NOTE: I'm running ryzen 7 and Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti Here is the process that fixed laggy monitors and makes everything smooth: 1. Update kernel to latest version with mainline a .sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:cappelikan/ppa2. Restart and then Install display link driver (download the ubuntu version from their website) a. sudo apt-get install dkms3. Run the driver installation file a. Right click the file and go to properties/premissions5. Restart 6. Install nvidia drivers a. sudo apt-get purge nvidia*7. Set the graphics card as main a. Go to and open /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf HTML Code:
Section "OutputClass" Identifier "nvidia" MatchDriver "nvidia-drm" Driver "nvidia" Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" ModulePath "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/xorg" Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes" EndSection The important line here is PrimaryGPU. I think I had laggy monitors because ubuntu was running everything over the integrated GPU8. Restart Hopefully it works. |

There are a few drawbacks like out-of-scale aspect ratio and night light not working on external monitors but Ill take that any day as long as my external monitors work smoothly. |
