What kind of graphics card are you using and have you run into many issues for multi display and/or high refresh rates (assuming you're running this)?

I'm so close to dumping windows and my final concern is gpu and multi monitor support. I only ever run linux on servers or VMs, so no real experience on bare metal.

I am on an ancient 1080 ti but that still gets the job done on the games I want to play (Total War series, RDR2 and some indie games).

About high refresh rate games: I have gamed on 144hz/120hz (one gaming monitor and another OLED TV) but I prefer to lower it so I can increase quality of graphics.

Multi monitor I can't say I have much experience with them connected at the same time but I have used the OLED+Gaming monitor few times but I can't say I do it often.

What I do very often is to leave the machine running and use RDP/Steam client to connect to it and game/work.

Linux support, and Ubuntu and Gnome for that matter, improved leaps and bounds since last LTS.

Not the person you asked, but I run Kubuntu with an RTX 4080 and a 4K 144hz display and every single thing works out of the box. Not every game I want to play works with Proton, but close. Gaming performance vs Windows has been indistinguishable, and it boots up much faster. My Windows drive sits at a half-loaded desktop with no icons for like a minute... No idea why.

Dual monitors will work well if they're similar, but I wouldn't mix hi-dpi with low-dpi or different refresh rates. I've heard most of that doesn't work or is poorly supported.
