Mixed refresh rates question (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone. I've read some posts before about Linux behaving poorly when using multiple monitors that have a different refresh rate.

Does anybody here know if X11 + AMDGPU + Mesa + Gnome handles this correctly? I'm thinking of getting a high refresh rate monitor (120hz+) while keeping my secondary at 60hz.

I've tried wayland but it seems like games often don't work :(

I haven't had any problems with gaming in Wayland. Perhaps you haven't configured it properly, especially if it wasn't default installed on your system.

What DE and distro did you try Wayland with? All games should work as they did on X11.

Gnome and Pop OS. I only briefly tried Wayland but multiple games just failed to launch or would launch and then crash not launch again.

You might want to try it again, I haven't had any issues really and I am using hyprland these days.
