Maybe here is a good place to ask. I have used Mint for months now on my non-gaming laptop. I like it. I was ready to move my gaming rig at months end. Then I read that it can have issues with multiple monitors at different refresh rates and also with Mouse acceleration. Is this true and is there a solution?

Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.
(programming.dev)
Monitors at different refresh rates is a downside of x11, which Mint uses for all its desktop environments. Fortunately, they're working on moving to Wayland for the Cinnamon edition, which has better support for that. There's an experimental version you can use now, and they plan to be done in 2026.
I'd test things first ofc, maybe with your laptop plugged into one of the monitors.

I'm just glad Copilot isn't available in Europe.
It's not? I have Copilot through my Office 365 work account.
