Very disappointed in the mac mini. You really can't use it easily with 2 monitors. There is a major glitch whe you try to use 2. Even if you get them both working, when it wakes up from sleep, its a mess again. Worst computer i have ever bought.
So from my understanding you're upset that you can't just plug both into USB-C? It says right on the Apple website "Simultaneously supports up to two displays: One display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz connected via Thunderbolt and one display with up to 4K resolution at 60Hz connected via HDMI 2.0"I have 2 Benq monitors that I have tried connecting via 2 usb-c, and tried where one hdmi and other is USB-c. When I mix usb C and HDMI I can get both working till it sleeps.
The monitors and cables all work fine when I just plug 2 usb-c cables in the side my 2018 MacBook Pro running Catalina 10.15.7. the mini is running Big Sur 11.0.1.
I expected to just be able to plug the 2 usb-c into the mini and it would work as seamless as the MacBook Pro.
I don't care if one monitor is connected via hdmi, and the other is via usb-c. the issue is that it flickers and very glitchy when running 2 monitors. its really not useable. I saw on the apple support forums it is common issue.So from my understanding you're upset that you can't just plug both into USB-C?

Is it not displaying properly?
I use two Dell 27" monitors. One via USB-C cable, the other via HDMI cable (no adapters). I did have occasional blackouts of the USB-C monitor, maybe 3-4 week using for 4 hours a day. In the middle of last week I started using a OWC Thunderbolt 4 dock, and have the Dell USB-C monitor cabled to the MacMini through the dock. No blackouts since then.
I'm not saying this is the reason to use a USB-C dock, in fact I kind of thought maybe using a dock might introduce issues on its own.
As much as I like the MacMini/Big Sur it has been kind of like Mr. Toads Wild Ride![]()
