For testing purposes, I went back to nvidia drivers:

And my current hyprland monitor config:
monitor = eDP-1, 1920x1080@60, 1080x1080, 1 # Main
monitor = DVI-I-1, 1920x1080@60, 0x0, 1, transform, 3 # DisplayLink
monitor = DP-1, 1920x1080@60, 0x0, 1, transform, 3 # Station F
monitor = DP-3, 1920x1080@60, 3000x1080, 1 # NS
monitor = DP-4, 1920x1080@60, 0x0, 1, transform, 3 # Station F
monitor = DP-5, 1920x1080@60, 0x0, 1, transform, 3 # Station F
All “DP-X” screens are working, not the DisplayLink. Interestingly, I installed KDE Plasma, and DisplayLink works both using Plasma (X11) and Plasma (Wayland), but the strange thing is that in Plasma (Wayland), arandr can monitor the screens, thus I can activate DVI-I-1 and place it where I want. Under hyprland, arandr can’t do that as I only see a HL-X11-0
screen.
