Mixed refresh rates question (self.linux_gaming)

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 have that stack except in KDE and I have had no issues.

Yeah, already a KDE user I've got a 4k@120 and a 4@60 and never noticed any issues in Linux.

Ironically, where I do often see issues is in Windows when gaming with a headset (headset is fine, monitor shows extensive tearing, same rig).
