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.

Only Wayland correctly supports multiple refresh rates. If you use to refresh rates on X11, it will refresh the screen at the highest rate. This is likely to cause tearing on the lower refresh rate screen.
