nVidia fans right now, with nVidia itself having long stymied the community
work in that area.
With my current setup, I have both monitors connected to my Intel GPU, and =
the
primary monitor also connected to the AMD one, with Intel being initialised=
by
EFI / BIOS first. In Linux, I switch the primary monitor to Intel, and for
Windows I switch it back to AMD. Not perfect of course, but this flow sort =

works for me.
