Setup dual monitors VGA & DP with GPU and Motherboard

[pseudify]

Hey there. I’m new to linux and I am having issues connecting dual monitors.
Unfortunately I do not have a VGA port on my GPU.
I currently have 1 monitor (DP) connected to my GPU
and I have the second monitor (VGA) connected to my motherboard, however the second monitor is not displaying anything. If somebody could help me out here and maybe figure out a solution, it would be appreciated. Please remember I am new to linux so try not to use complicated terms with me.

I would also like to mention that this is a linux issue and not a computer issue. Running dual monitors on windows 10 worked like a piece of cake.
If anybody could help me out here, that would be great. Thanks.

Erik

[HowTo] Post command output and file content as formatted text

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ Formatting differences Discourse – this forum’s engine – uses Markdown to format its posts, and removes “unnecessary” whitespace. Terminal commands often produce output formatted so that they are better readable by the user, taking advantage of the monospaced font used.

Manjaro Linux is not Windows - if you expect it to function similarly - you should really consider if Linux is up your alley.
