So I have a two monitor setup, and I really dislike how gnome only lets you have the bar on the primary screen unless you install a plugin that is very outdated and I cannot get working on the latest version of gnome or use dash to dock, and I am not a fan of the dock style…
Then with KDE is kinda nice, but then I have to keep the panel at the bottom of both monitors in sync manually for pinned items… I am just curious if this bothers others and if there is a DE that doesn’t really have this issue or any workarounds people know of.
Yes missing mirroring in the KDE Plasma panels is annoying.
But I would just stick with KDE, it may get fixed soon.
To my knowledge, COSMIC desktop mirrors the panels to both screens.

I believe both Dash to Panel and V-Shell are capable of resolving this issue in a way that should suit your needs IF you wish to continue using GNOME.
Cinnamon works very well for this. I can put bars all over the place on any monitor.
The upcoming Cosmic desktop by Pop!_OS has the exact feature you’re describing.
I’m really looking forward to having sane functionality without needing a dozen extensions, and still have a couple things I just can’t quite reconcile. I tried to like Plasma, but once again, I just can’t stand using it for more than a month or two. And I don’t have time to get a more basic compositor working the way I want, like I did back in the Fluxbox/Openbox days, especially with how complex things have become.
I really hope System76 and XFCE both hurry up.
That will be awesome
I have my status bar on both monitors by default on Hyprland.
Dash to panel seems to work fine. The only problem i had with gnome on two screens was when they had different scaling.
