I'm excited for Cosmic Desktop

From what I saw Cosmic has a lot of potential and looks pretty sleek too, right now I'm using KDE it's a great desktop, but now that I have a second monitor it randomly crashes on me, I think I'll switch to Cosmic when it reaches beta.

Well, since Cosmic isn't going to be ready for a couple years yet, let's try to fix your multimonitor issue. Are you running on Wayland and what's your GPU?
- Wayland, Lenovo idepad 1 2018 (Ryzen 3) second monitor is Arzopa A1 GAMUT SLIM
  
  I'm guessing that's the onboard AMD graphics then?
  
  If you do an lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' what does it return? Are you able to find anything in dmsg (journalctl -xb-1 for previous boot log) that would give an error message to investigate?
  
  here is what I got 04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Mendocino (rev c2) Subsystem: Lenovo Device 380e Kernel driver in use: amdgpu Kernel modules: amdgpu I don't think I understand what I'm reading but here is all the error I could find: https://rentry.org/gni28ogy
  
  Might have to get the full log, and it should be from immediately after one of those unexpected reboots. The flag b-1 indicates journalctl to export the logs from the previous boot (-1) instead of the current log. So if you do sudo journalctl -xb-1 > log.txt after one of these reboots and paste that file to look at, we might get something useful.
  
  I'm fairly confident that's a problem that can be fixed with having an AMD graphics driver running. If it were nVidia, I'd be less confident.
