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 have two monitors (2K, 144hz, DP) and a TV (4K, 60hz, HDMI) and it ran fine on Plasma. I used X11, because my 2060 was causing issues with Wayland.

      How did you deal with scaling with 2 different resolutions on X? I never managed to get it working quite properly, the closest I got was running some xrandr scale commands on login.

        That’s one aspect I have to use a workaround. Since I mostly watch video on the TV, I seldom need to scale the screen. When I want to use the TV exclusively, I have a small script that shuts off the monitors, changes scaling, panels and audio output.
