Question about High Refresh Rate Monitors and High Res Monitors on linux - eviltoast

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?

    I can’t speak for KDE, but I run Linux Mint Cinnamon with a 1440p 144Hz monitor and a 1080p 60 Hz monitor. Everything worked except that the refresh rate for all my monitors was capped at the lowest rate either monitor could handle, which was 60Hz. I just went without the 2nd 1080 monitor so I could get 144Hz all the time.
