Last time I was hired as a code monkey we used Linux with a dual-monitor setup. The setting would not, under any circumstances, see one of those 1080p monitors as anything more than 480p.
I spent literally half the first day of work looking for solutions, and eventually settled on running some random command i don’t understand copied from the internet running on startup.
If it helps, Mint seems to have this sorted. I was using a 1080 screen and a 2k screen. Now I’ve got two 2k screens (1440 x something?). Mint detected both configurations correctly and set them up for me. The only thing I had to do was tell it which monitor was the primary, and that was only because I prefer my primary screen to be on the right.
I had the 1080 screen set up in portrait mode for a while too, and Mint had no problem with it 👍

I had a lot of troubles running dual monitors, too. Thankfully its been sorted out by switching to wayland and updates over time.
You’d think Linux, of all the OS’s, would have the best support for such things.
