I can't seem to get dual monitor working properly on X12

Basically what happens is my monitors are positioned incorrectly. So the monitor that should be to the right is to the left and vice versa. This makes using my setup quite difficult, since I have to move the mouse to the left to get to the monitor that's physically on my right side. Can someone show me an example configuration...

naeap,

you got also give arandr a try, as it is a GUI to xrandr and you can move your virtual monitors around a bit, until it matches the physical locations/orientations

naeap,

yeah, but then you need someone on the outside to open 18 (!) bolts, before you can exit. no way to open from the inside. so you'll probably suffocate anyway.

how this design got through...

i use arch (btw), and i hate how much i depend on the AUR, its very unstable. I switched to flatpak for my gui programs since the cli experience sucks. nix on the other hand works like a native package manager, and thats great for me. but i see that nix also includes stuff like coreutils (because of nixos im guessing). do i...

naeap,

when you say fully isolated from the Arch libs on the system, means I have all dependencies of the installed programs doubled on my system - only if needed of course. so they can't share the same liberates already provided by the Arch/base system?

naeap,

thanks, but sorry, that wasn't the question.
I'm perfectly aware of the user end principle, but I'm not so sure about the technical backend.

where is the data of remote instances stored?
if this is synced to the local instance, than small servers would need to mirror remote content.

but I guess, I'll check the ActivityPub and Lemmy Doc/Code
