So, got me wondering - has anyone (devs or users) tried Cinnamon with Backbox? Does it work? Is it stable?
The thing is, with my new laptop (Intel HD graphics + Nvidia GTX965M) I am not able to set the desirable workspace. What I want to achieve is that my external monitor would be the primary one, with panel, icon, being extended to the left - laptop display.
It seems, that even the last version of xfce is not capable of this setup, which is frustrating. Nvidia drivers are useless since my nvidia card is optimus one and drivers don't even recognize second display, xrandr/arandr can't make it either - with xfce 4.12 there is a "make primary" button, but is not working.
I tried Debian 8.2 with XFCE, Gnome, Gnome Classic, Cinnamon and Mate with XFCE being the only one (Mate could do it, leaving the icons on the secondary display) not capable of my setup which is a huge bummer (and from what I found on the internet it is a common xfce bug?).
Either way, knowing this is not Backbox developers' mistake, is there a way to set the xfce up in a way I described, or is installing Cinnamon possible withou making Backbox and it's tools/software unstable?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
