BazziteOS Desktop KDE Taskbar on wrong monitor
Currently it's on my secondary monitor. How can I move it to my main monitor? I don't need a taskbar on both monitors or anything, but swapping my primary monitor to my secondary makes all the games load on the wrong monitor.

I found a solution. If anybody else has this issue the following is how to solve:
Right click on existing taskbar and "show panel configuration" then, on the monitor you wish to add a taskbar on
Add panel > default panel...

KDE seems to be smart, too, and if you press win-key (or equivalent) opens the task menu on that monitor.
another method is to just change which monitor is the primary monitor in display settings 🙂 (assuming you only want 1 panel)
I'm having weird issues with the primary monitor setting. Lock screen goes to non-primary monitor as does the original taskbar. Used the "identify" and verified that the monitors were in the correct configuration (left/right). Otherwise, yes, but changing the primary to the secondary to make the taskbar go to primary causes all the games to load on the secondary.
It also means that when I lock the computer that goes to the wrong screen, but that's not a deal-breaker at least. It's just strange behavior that I can't understand.
with kde the lock screen is on all monitors
the original taskbar goes to the non primary monitor because you moved it the other way 😛
if a game goes on the wrong monitor you can use i believe WIN+W to open the overview and move it there
although i dont have that issue 🤔
It was that way on initial boot. Let me load into the OS and see if I can take some screenshots.
Okay, looks like lock screen is always on both, it just defaults input to the secondary monitor instead of the primary.
Maybe I just need to reinstall and something happened during the initial setup. Unplug the secondary monitor until after the initial install completes. I bet that solves all my strange issues.
It's awesome to know the maintainers are active in here too.
you can fix it by forcing lock screen to be enabled on primary screen only
