      When I start the mm2.sh script, despite the correct configuration, it takes the config.js instead of the config2.js. Therefore, it seems unable to start both instances simultaneously because it attempts to open the same config.js. The configuration looks like this in the mm2.sh script:
      cd ~/MagicMirror
      export MM_CONFIG=config2.js
      DISPLAY=:0 npm start

      the pm2_MagicMirror2.json is copy and paste from u ;-)

            @chichi1887 yes , Linux treats the two monitors as one big display, so you have to add

            electronOptions:{ left:xxxx}
            above the modules:[] list

            to one of the config.js to move the second mm over one screen width size

            if vertical, then it’s y:xxxx

              Live example - I use two 1920x1080 monitors, my system is using latest OS, but with X11 turned on rather than Wayland for compatibility reasons to some background tasks:

              var config = {
              	address: "0.0.0.0",
              	port: 8081, 
              	electronOptions: { x: 1920 },  // Right here! 
              	ipWhitelist: [], 
              	language: "en",
              	timeFormat: 12,
              	units: "imperial",
              	customCss: "css/custom2.css",
              	modules: [

              The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"
