I’m looking at getting a dual screen setup and I was wondering if there’s something I should be way off before pressing the purchase button.

What I had on mind was a 4K144hz HDR monitor for my main, and a regular 1440p 60/75Hz for the secondary. I know that linux is quirky and having different resolutions and refresh rates can be prone to problems. Is this config something that I should avoid or is there something I should do on my system beforehand?

    I’ve been using a triple screen setup for a few years with Nvidia.

    Best advice I have is to use xrandr and a script to setup how your screens are positioned, the resolution etc.

    xrandr --output DP-5 --mode 3440x1440 --rate 60 --primary
    xrandr --output HDMI-0 --left-of DP-5 --rotate right
    xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 1920x1080 --above DP-5
    xrandr --output DP-3 --mode 1920x1080 --same-as DP-1
