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?

    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.
