    I have dual monitors with different scaling and refresh rates, both work perfectly. Even VRR works as expected. I’m using Manjaro KDE with Wayland, Intel CPU, AMD GPU.

    Linux Mint hasn’t finished their work on Wayland and thus, the things you are experiencing are unfortunately expected. So you might want to try with another distro with GNOME or KDE.

    When people suggested you Mint, they were wrong in ignoring your setup.

      That’s another issue with Linux: one thing works in distro X and another thing works in distro Y. OS should just work. Linux doesn’t.

        Linux works. It’s only a Kernel.

        Android is also a linux distro. To you, it might seem as another OS. So from that point of view, each distro would be a dIfferent OS. So you should judge each distro as such.

        So, what people told you Linux is, in fact that Kernel on top of a ton other software.

        You can’t expect all distros to be the same. Because their purposes are different.

          That’s not what people mean when saying “switch to Linux”.

            They mean a Linux based OS, and say Linux for short. They could also say GNU/Linux, but chose not to. I do it every single time, but its for convenience, but technically imprecise.

            When we are talking about distributions being different, that’s their whole purpose, since their only common denominator is the underlying kernel.

              You’re just moving the conversion sideways. If you have nothing to say on the topic - move on.
