I like Wayland just because it lets me easily use two monitors of different resolutions and refresh rates.

I used X11 for about 6 months when I first used Linux because I still had an Nvidia GTX 1080 at the time and Wayland wouldn't even load for me then.

I did manage to get my monitor setup somewhat working on X11 through a lot of manual editing and the trade off constant screen tearing on my low hz 2nd monitor.

When I finally got an AMD card I loaded KDEs Wayland session on the same Linux install and it automatically set the max res and hz for both monitors including the new 1440p 170hz main monitor I got along with the GPU.

    Doesn't KDE kinda have that same refresh rate issue on Wayland? I remember seeing a bug that Qt has a limitation in this regard, In the video I saw the workspace transition ran at the lower refresh rate when multiple monitors were used.

    Thankfully I stopped using multiple monitors so I can't personally confirm.

    KDE plasma wayland user since 5.20 specifically because the x11 version would bug out on me having a 240hz monitor alongside my 60hz drawing tablet. Plasma 6.7 has fixed basically every bug with refresh rate/animations I've had at this point including that frame rate one(which I think was caused by the animation reading from disk instead of ram?)
