Hello, I cant seem to find any upto date info on this topic and all the old threads seem to suggest that these features do not work well on linux.

I am looking to get a 144hz monitor that is at least 2k in resolution. I have an Nvidia graphics card and KDE Plasma. I want to run two monitors and the 2nd monitors is 60hz and 1080p. Would this cause issues? Is there anything I need to consider when looking for a monitor?

    Are you using wayland? As far as I’m aware X11 can’t handle different refresh rates for different monitors so it defaults to the lower one.

      X11 can use the higher refresh rate when using multiple monitors. It just runs everything at a higher refresh rate which can cause tearing on the lower one.
