SUMMARY
For my user, spiderunderurbed, I get this issue:
https://pastebin.com/LGMZ66xE
Multimonitor wayland does not work with my primary user spiderunderurbed is my
primary user and a rarely play around with user specific configuration, so this
could likely be a configuration option that stayed back from a few updates ago,
cache, (but i removed .cache) or something I would perfer to fix on my user,
and I think this might not be a issue with the fact my main user was in use for
awhile but it could be a issue that could happen to anyone. This does not
happen on other users, like another user i have called "jellyfin."
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
UNKNOWN at the moment
OBSERVED RESULT
I observed that the second monitor would flicker with a hdmi connection and
fail, 3 times, then crash and return to sddm. display-manager was not being of
much help, here is a log with display-manager:
https://pastebin.com/MQGww7Bs
^ long one (ignore the early entries where it mentions the gnome keyring, I had
to remove gnome as the keyring was crashing sddm, but later onwards is where my
bug manifests)
EXPECTED RESULT
Wayland should start, on both of my monitors, my laptop screen and my display.
Like it does when I am on the user jellyfin, maybe there is a simple fix for
me, but there should also be a change made so this issue doesnt happen with
anyone else.
I do use a predator helios 300 with a nvidia dpu and igpu but this is not a
limitation when it comes to multimonitor support I discovered, since it works
with another user, however if you suspect this does have something to do with
my computer, I mistakingly assumed it was a hardware issue and a few months
earlier i filed a bug report under that assumtion:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I filed a bug report here, but it could very much be outdated:
