How to reset displays (monitors) settings for KDE Plasma and GNOME

In case your display arrangement or settings, e.g. when you have 3 screens and you are for some reason unable to reorganize them or change their settings, just reset your display settings:

For KDE Plasma:

rm -rf .local/share/kscreen

For GNOME:

rm -rf .config/monitors.xml

Then just log out and back in.

That’s it! Enjoy!

    Thanks for linking to that, but did you try it yourself? I’d be VERY wary of implementing 5 year old KDE advice at this point. It’s change a LOT since then.
