As I explained in my comment from 2025-03-06, there are use cases where it is
handy if not only the scale but also the screen resolution is saved along with
the layout of the different connected screens. As a lecturer, I don't mind to
have to set screen layout, resolution, and scale once per room in which I
teach. However, it becomes somewhat if the resolution needs to be adjusted over
and over again to match the resolution of the external screen.

Maybe, it would help if it were possible to explicitly specify which screen
should be the mirror of another screen? This seems to be the way how the screen
configuration dialogues in macOS and Windows approached this problem.

I would also like to note that there are use cases where one would like to keep
the screens separated, e.g., when presenting slides with a program, which
offers a presentation console for the lecturer in addition to the full screen
display of the slides. However, once one wants to show something in a web
browser or another application, usually the screen layout needs to be adjusted
to mirror the screen with the application.
