X11 is broken on anything but a bog standard 1080p 60hz monitor. It cant handle dual monitor support, it cant handle dual refresh rates, HDR, DPI scaling, NVIDA anything, High refresh rates, synced frames.

I have a 1080p@120hz and 768p@50hz at all times with no issues, I have TearFree enabled on xorg, so I’ve never understood what people meant with this

do you have an nvidia card?

I have X11 on a 1440p, 180Hz MSI monitor, and it does just fine for me. People just don't understand X11 anymore, and they seem to be the salty ones from the looks of things.

Your screen tears and your dpi scaling doesnt work. Thats not "working just fine". Its not that people dont understand X11 its that people are getting tired of being told to ignore half their features not working because a few people are used it them never working.
