same here. switched back after years of dual booting because on all my DEs over the years I consistently had these issues, not to mention I make music and daws fucking hate Linux / wine. just made sure to debloat it before I used it.
I saw in your other comment that you were using Gnome. A lot of people like it, but Gnome wouldn’t be my recommendation.
I use a multi-monitor setup not that different from yours, and KDE handles it swimmingly. I also have an Nvidia card and I’m using X.org. I probably could use Wayland, but I’m in no rush.
If you really want to stay with a GTK desktop, then XFCE is excellent also. Budgie too.
Haven’t encountered a single game that doesn’t work since being on Linux for over a year, though they surely exist, and I’ve played at least 30. The only things annoying me is that I have to reconnect my steering wheel after I start Dirt Rally 2.0 to have Force Feedback, and that I can’t tab out of League of Legends and instead have to minimize it with win+down.
Yeah, no. You still can’t play as many games on Linux. Linux is wonderful for network related tasks, though! And it is certainly getting much better at supporting games.
It’s easier than ever to switch to Linux, especially if the thing holding you back was gaming.
i actually switched back to Windows from Linux because it didn’t work well with different resolutions and scaling and my Programs kept crashing.

Prob a gnome issue, I’ve never had an issue with scaling on kde, xfce, or i3 with my 4 monitors
Interesting. Were you running Windows programs with Wine?
Feels like everyone advising to switch to Linux for gaming actually doesn’t play a bit on Linux
