> The Nvidia drivers are getting there, but they're nowhere close to Windows...have to restart to use a dual monitor setup

I have a desktop with a discrete Nvidia card, and on Linux I'm easily able to turn on my second monitor after the system is already booted and have it be recognized. I'm super curious to hear what issues you ran into with this sort of thing, because it all works without hassle for me.

The issue I'm having is that Nvidia driver 418 doesn't support my HDMI out (still haven't figured out why), but 390 has atrocious power management. So when I'm mobile, I switch to 418 (restart), and at my desk back to 390 (restart again).

Ah, yeah, that does sound extremely painful. I'm guessing you've already tried using noveau to see if that works better?
