Targeting the major DEs like KDE or GNOME would cover big chunk of the user base imo.

After using Linux for nearly 10 years, and seeing the differences in distros, graphics hardware, and display servers, I can honestly say that something like this might not be an easy task.

In Windows, the underlying handler for changing display configurations really doesn't change, and DisplayFusion uses that handler to do the work.

In Linux, the handler can change based on display server, graphics hardware, drivers, and possibly distros.

While this is true, a Linux version of DisplayFusion would still be a welcome enhancement for any Linux user that uses multiple displays. I'm still rooting for this.

Well looks like Microsoft is killing windows wwith all the tracking and otheer crap! Linux at 11% now and growing very very fast many contries have already left windows for linux Germany and others. I'm hoping you will see the trend and start looking at linux more. As windows s dieing!!

I know this is never going to go anywhere, but I can't help but lament how much I miss DisplayFusion on KDE Plasma (wayland).

+1 for me

Moving away from Windows now that Win10 is reaching End of Life, not going near Win 11.

I know there is a request for linux user have access to DisplayFusion. I'm one of them. I am not transferring to Windows 11 as my computer and laptop are to old to transition to the new version. I'm old school, "If it ain't broken, don't fix it."

I have had DisplayFusion for many years, but my largest reason for it, is that I use 5 monitors at my desk. I'm sure I will add one monitor to my laptop when I am out somewhere, but it is at my desktop where I like it best.

I know we are in August of 2025. I know there have been requests for years. I know I am not a programmer.

But I do have a question, Is there anyone that is able to help in some way make this awesome program work with Linux Mint?

The concept of not having different images on multiple screens is depressing.

Latte-Dock is a fail. After a little while of using it, apps started crashing when launched from it, not to mention other problems that started cropping up with it. Stopping it, and re-adding the default panel was the only solution. Still hoping for a Linux port of DisplayFusion.

This is just an idea. Have you ever thought that a latte "dock" can also be everything else and use it as a standard "Default Panel" in KDE? You can move that thing at the bottom of the screen or pretty much anywhere and make it look and act however you like. The round corners are the choice in this particular screen but when you open a full-sized window, it actually straightens up at the top so that the user can utilize the whole screen efficiently.

The greatest advantage of it is that you can instruct how and where different programs show. For example move their so called "quick" launch icons between different monitors, so that those monitors are aware that this is the same program etc. The options are unlimited really.

Have you tried Latte!? It's supported again. Latte + shortcuts inside the KDE settings + a little bit of scripting did it for me. Wayland in my experience didn't do the trick and wasn't stable or sufficient.

No updates here, we'll be sure to post if we have any news in the future

Not yet, sorry!

Thank you for the app! It seems that there are a lot of requests for this feature. Any updates or thoughts on the Linux version?

@owen-muhlethaler-bfs & @keith-lammers-bfs

Definitely want to upvote this request. Additional arguments to consider for supporting Linux
- If Microsoft continues implementing invasive technologies that compromise user privacy (Recall), the people that chose to move to Linux will be forced to abandon your app.
- If more of the gaming and multi-media community moves to Linux to have have more control over their systems, those people will also be forced to abandon your app.

As someone who fits in both of these categories, I think it would be a wise move on Binary Fortress' part to expand DisplayFusion support to Linux.

I actually ended up installing this, and configuring it to work just like the existing panel. I do like the change in how it displays open apps with dits, as opposed to KDE's default way. For display change configs, I added a "on/off" button widget that changes between two display configs via script runs, but that's still not quite ideal, because the button image won't update if I run one manually from the terminal (such as a 3rd config).

In Windows, I really only use DisplayFusion to change display configurations with 2 clicks, and to move windows to another screen with a single click.

Me too
Honestly i haven't used Linux for years now but only because i can't use many tools windows has, and displayfusion is one of them (then we have Razer and Asus softwares for mouse and keyboard, strokesplus for gestures, etc etc)

About displayfusion if would be enough a version that includes only the most used features like monitor configuration

I've been dual-booting between Windows 10 & Kubuntu for several years.

In Linux I've been using terminal scripts I made to change my display configuration, while either dragging windows to other screens, or using the titlebar's context menu for 2 clicks (can be hard to read on smaller displays.)

Built-in options within KDE (or nvidia settings for nvidia users) are nowhere near as fast or convenient as what DisplayFusion offers for display configuration, or moving windows between screens... At least not as far as I've seen.

For anyone that migrated to Linux and loves it, try Latte + KDE or just KDE for anyone with the same problem. Thank me later. I gifted my license of Display Fusion (which is a great software for Windows!!!) to a family member.

Just want to add my +1 for linux support, windows 11 somehow isn't supported on my pc for whatever reason (it isn't that old of a pc so not sure why) but I would rather make the switch to linux in any case and display fusion is great for the taskbar management, I love having separate apps on each specific window. Even if for that I'd buy another license!

I loved DisplayFusion on Windows, but now run Linux. Please consider a Linux version; thanks.

+1 add my vote for a linux version as well! I'm looking to migrate away from Windows, and would absolutely love to see this available in Linux.

Add my vote for a DF version on linux (Ubuntu)

RE: Displayfusion for Linux?

Binary Fortress Software — Fri, 19 Jul 2024 06:32:16 GMT

+1 right there!

Personally, I'd settle for a WallpaperFusion, an application that would only allow you to manage your wallpapers in an advanced way, with support for multiple screens, etc., without all the other features offered by DisplayFusion.
It seems simpler to develop, and would be a very welcome first step
