I recently upgraded from Zorin OS 17.3 to Zorin OS 18 and I noticed the option to have the display on one single monitor has disappeared.

There are only options for joined displays or mirroring. How can I set it to one single monitor? I use this to save power whenever I don't need my second monitor, and the current workaround is to mirror them and just turn the second one off, but it's painful to have to turn it on and off every time.

Surely the option hasn't been removed?

Never mind. After searching for weeks for the solution, I'm answering myself less than 1 minute after I posted.

I had to go to the "Join" tab, then click on the second display and disable it.

Seems such an absurd way to do it... Why would I have to go to "Join" when I'm seeking the option for a single monitor?
