+1 to all these issues.

I tried a similar setup and eventually gave up after the monitor problems. Having 4 displays with different resolutions and refresh types just doesn’t seem to work at all.

Yeah, apparently Linux users mainly use single monitor setups! Multi-monitor is so important and very common, so it was the last thing I expected to have issues with. Oh well.

To be honest, yes, I use a single monitor setup... though I don't think many Linux users use a single monitor setup, they just use matched monitors (buy 2, 3 of the same kind).

Even with matched refresh rates, the issues persisted.

I do believe that... I have seen threads where people just gave up on trying to get the max refresh rate from the hardware they paid for, because confining that setup is just way too complicated or still not supported.

Or switched back to Windows 🤷.
