#Most Applications opening up on secondary monitor

Hi guys, small thing but really kills the vibe for productivity. My main monitor is listed as monitor 2 in display, but is definitely my primary monitor in the settings. Everytime I open up apps it always opens on my secondary monitor, or monitor 1 in display settings. I for the life of me cant figure out why. Is it a driver issue? I am using NVIDIA drivers installed with the Mint beginners guide.

i think it's cuz the OS or motherboard just prioritizes one physical port over another

#

have you tried in DISPLAYS to 'set as primary' the preferred monitor and drag them around?

#

as a last resort if the above doesn't do it, use APPLETS, n get Cassia Window List n tweak it

pretty sure it has very distinct options for what apps should open where. You can replace the standard "grouped window list" applet - on both panels, if running dual panel dual monitor - with Cassia list on both

What stunnner said would just change the side of the screen that the mouse cursor teleport to the other monitor
I was talking about the the display settings thing

You need to untick the "set as primary" button and tick it when the red square is selected
