    I run a dual monitor on X11 and never understood why people have issues with it? I’m by no means a Linux expert and I do run in Nvidia, I run different refresh rates. Can someone explain it to me?

        Even without considering laptops, I can already imagine quite a few circumstances where someone might want monitors of differing DPIs. I’ve actually thought sometimes of getting a smaller monitor I can have off to the side that I display a browser window containing mostly text on when I’m playing videogames or working in something like Blender or Aseprite; yknow, for referencing a guide, wiki, or manual or something. I don’t even have a super high desire for a multi-monitor setup outside of that.

      I do similar. For laptops and docks, especially if they change setups it can be a pita (though you just need to copy files around).

      Also the DE monitor config (ie that you use to login) is logically different to a users x config. So you gotta copy that over to make sure the primary monitor etc is right.

      x11

      2 monitors 144hz, 1 TV 120hz.

      Nothing on any monitor can render at higher than 120hz

      Play movie on any one screen, other screens can’t render anything at higher than 24fps

      Wayland works fine
