Finally! I really wanted to like Mint, but on multi-monitor setups with different scaling per monitor X11 was really struggling and eating up like 30-40% of my CPU.

Oh I didn't know Wayland supported multi monitor. This makes me happy to see Mint finally getting it.

This might explain some of the weirdness I’ve seen on Mint.

Yeah, I had to switch to Fedora because my three monitors with two different scaling factors and three different aspect ratios never played nice with Mint. I recognize that this was a bit excessive, but I'm still glad this is going to be fixed.

I have a very similar setup, and ended up on Fedora as well. I'll give Mint another go soon though, I still really like the simplicity of Debian's package management and the design decisions by the Mint team.

And it doesn't support different refresh rates. The refresh rates needs to be the minimum that the monitor supports.
