Apparently Wayland has become default in most distros, and actually installing X11 back on some of them is a lot of work (it was straightforward only on CachyOS) and I don't have the tux-fu to wedge it in by sheer hackery.
So there's this end of life situation and the fact that I work with different monitors and do CGI so there's a few more downsides there too (scaling, color management)
Oh! Well. Yes. X11 does not handle different DPIs at the same time very well.
Yes, but to be frank thar's not a dealbreaker. Annoying, but can do with. The real threat is investing time and energy into switching my workstation to Linux and find in a year or so that I have to update and it's Wayland and now it's broken again
