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.

And I'm sure all the other people using 6 monitors on 2 GPUs at the same time will appreciate it.
Seriously, how common is such a scenario that you'd even mention it in this context?
Two monitors with different refresh rates is very common. Think laptop connected to a bigger monitor.
I have 2 75hz and a 240hz. It's been alright for me on kde and x11. Although, I do want to give this Wayland thing a shot after hearing it being brought up so many times
3 monitors is probably a lot more common than you think.
I have, unironically, never seen anyone using three monitors together on a PC in my life.
Seriously? That's my home setup, and a lot of my friends also have 3 monitors.
I'm surprised you don't know anyone who has three monitors. It's common for tech-y people.
Ive seen several devs do that, and also some of my gaming friends have 3 monitors.
I barely know anyone who only has a single display. Most people I know have one high refresh rate monitor, and one office monitor for discord and the likes.
Main work + secondary work (docs, output, ...) + sensors/debug/multimedia
Hello! Nice to meet you. I know and love your kind. One monitor is pretty standard, so I have a lot of friends just like you.
Yup, 3 monitors user here. I guarantee it's not that uncommon.
(And yes, I'm still running X11)
A lot of people that run three monitors got all three from a thrift store for $8
Since it's probably reasonably rare it's a good demonstration of the stability of Wayland. It makes sense to mention it imo
Ultra wide for cheap is one of uses
