I mentioned that it worked when I live booted Nobara 38, another distro.
Currently I’m on a live boot of Nobara and both monitors work.
I’m gonna etch the Manjaro iso to my usb, and get back to you on a live boot of that.
Apologies then. I though for a moment or two that is the name of the new Manjaro release, just now remembered that it’s actually Ultima Thule
Ok, I’m on the GNOME version of Manjaro, booted up using Open Source Drivers, and the second monitor gets detected, but it’s a black screen. I can mouse over it an see the cursor, but other than that, nothing.
Edit:
Booted up on propiretary drivers now, the display doesn’t get detected.
Well, that’s something then. Can you put a background on?
And then, please post the previous outputs again:
I can’t do anything on the second screen. I can drag windows over it, and interact with them blindly, but they don’t show up over there.

I mean’ they DO show up, but I can’t see them. lol
The same. What driver did you boot with? Open-source or proprietary?
I booted up on open source, because on proprietary: 
OK, I’m officially stumped. I don’t know what it could be, if it’s not some kind of hardware-related issue…
Sorry!
Yeah, I’d also say that it’s a hardware issue, but that doesn’t explain it working on Nobara 38 or Windows.
Don’t worry about it, this PC is a mortal enemy of mine.
Hello again, after some time of hopping distros, I came to a conclusion that the monitor problem was a GNOME issue. I’m now using the KDE Plasma version, and everything works fine with no tweaking needed. So, if anyone faces the same issue, steer away from GNOME!
