    [Desktop] Setting Primary Monitor in Dual Monitor System Fails to Remain Selected Upon Reboot Using X11 & 25.04 vs 25.10 Question

    I have a two monitor set up, side by side. I prefer the left monitor set as primary. I go to System Settings > Display & Monitor and select the left monitor as primary and I apply those changes. The system then recognizes the left monitor as primary. I eventually reboot. When the system comes back up, the right monitor is primary, and again I must go to System Settings > Display & Monitor and select the left monitor as primary and hit Apply. I know I can get around this by running an xrandr script during a login autostart, but I really shouldn't have to do this. If you know of a fix for this other than my xrandr work-around, please let me know.

    I know xrandr doesn't work on Wayland, and I rarely use Wayland because of other significant problems I have previously reported here. I know very little about how to manipulate Wayland. I suppose I could upgrade from 25.04 to 25.10, but I don't know if that fixes all the issues I currently see with Wayland. I am currently running the Nvidia proprietary 580.65.06 driver ("Using NVIDIA driver (open kernel) metapackage from nvidia-driver-580-open (proprietary, tested)") for a GeForce RTX 5070 GPU. Does 25.10 provide an upward revision to this Nvidia proprietary driver? If I should be able to answer that last question on my own, please teach me how to do so.

    Thank you very much in advance.

    This doesn't answer your primary question, but you can use kscreen-doctor instead of xrandr on Kubuntu Wayland. The options and syntax are different, so read the --help first.
