From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wayland if you have more that one monitor. X11 can support multiple monitors but it is a disaster.
Rustdesk doesn't work on Wayland and that is a real bummer
I run a dual monitor on X11 and never understood why people have issues with it? I'm by no means a Linux expert and I do run in Nvidia, I run different refresh rates. Can someone explain it to me?
x11
2 monitors 144hz, 1 TV 120hz.
Nothing on any monitor can render at higher than 120hz
Play movie on any one screen, other screens can't render anything at higher than 24fps
Wayland works fine
