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?

[–] julianh@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

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.

My gaming rig has been on arch and manjaro for the past 6 years. No regrets. Sometimes games can be a pita to get working right, but proton/steam/valve have done an amazing job and it's better every day.

I have a 2.5k 34" uktawide and a 27" connected. No issues.

I'm just glad Copilot isn't available in Europe.

It's not? I have Copilot through my Office 365 work account.

I just use my windows PC for gaming, and it does the job without issues.
