I'm considering buying second small touchscreen monitor, but I've been only ever running single monitor setup. How much hassle would it be? Is it possible to make mouse captive to primary monitor, and operate this secondary only as touch? Would running screens at different resolutions be a big problem?
Running KDE on Wayland, AMD graphics.

I've been using Nvidia+Wayland+Gnome with two different monitors for a while now, and never had any problems with this setup. The X11 setup before that had some issues years ago, but worked fine for the last few years before switching to Wayland.

I also connect different external monitors to my Intel-based laptop fairly often, and it works 99.9% of the time.

Multi-monitor is really just plug and play nowadays.

What distro you on? Ever since fedora updated the Nvidia drivers it's been giving me non-stop issues

Fedora as well, with drivers from RPM Fusion.
