    I have 2 monitors, one 144hz and one 75hz. I can’t use anything that only has X for that reason :/

      Is that generally an issue on Linux Mint / Cinnamon X11? I have a 144 Hz and a 70 Hz monitor and they seem to work fine…

        As far as I know, unless Mint has patched something very recently, that 144hz monitor is throttled to 70 right now. You still probably have better frame times, which matters, but is obviously not the same as a higher refresh rate.

        It’s just a fundamental flaw in X11’s design that can’t be fixed as far as I know.
