Guaranteed if I dual booted Linux on it the problem would magically disappear.

unfortunately not since its a hardware limitation
probably a cruft from the iPhone/iPad era since the first ARM desktop chips from Apple are basically beefed up phone chips which don't need more than one external monitor

anyway it is pretty stupid to ship a laptop with that limitation in this century

yea but you can't install GrapheneOS on Fairphones
for some people the environmental impact of using Fairphones or older Google Pixel (which CalyxOS supports longer) is more important than using a slightly more secure custom rom

for anyone looking for another custom rom: CalyxOS does support Fairphone 4 (and 5 later) while locking the bootloader with custom keys (unlike LineageOS for example)

for anyone afraid of the upfront cost: you don't need to buy so many expensive hard disk drives to self host a media server like Jellyfin/Plex
RAID arrays add complexity and get expensive very fast while not being a proper backup solution at all, it's nice to have but not required

on a budget buying a large hard disk drive (12~16 TB is a good sweet spot right now) and later down the road another one as periodic backup solution might be the wiser choice while accumulating your collection of media

I love CalyxOS but they don't support Android Auto at the moment if this a dealbreaker for anyone

wasn't Intel the one which raised the bar of TDP on laptop CPUs in the first place? so they could win in CPU benchmarks

I'm not sure why people blame mostly Google for this
Microsoft stopped supporting them long time ago first, in case of Windows 7 it's almost 4 years now

you can just use any other OTP application on Linux like https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Authenticator or https://apps.kde.org/keysmith/, they all follow the same protocol
you can export your keys in Aegis and import them in most applications
