      I just purchased a Raspberry Pi 4B.

      It has dual HDMI outputs.

      I has seen articles about trying to have retropie on both monitors. But I was wondering if Is possible to set it up do that the Linux Desktop gui is on one monitor and Emulation Station displaying on the other?

        As far as I know, using both displays requires X to run, but RetroPie doesn't use the desktop environment to run.
