This is definitely not entirely true of x11. I have mixed DPI (which, admittedly, does work for shit, but can be hacked around by using a wrapper script to launch things with different DPIs) and mixed refresh rates. The mixed refresh rates work perfectly, zero issues (as configured via nvidia drivers, admittedly annoying for other reasons).

That said I would use wayland if nvidia wasn't busy fucking everything up.

I have firefox windows on both monitors, and like to drag tabs over from one to the other.

Under X11, doing so is either impossible, or requires restarting firefox, which really isn’t something I’d wanna do.

There was an old XUL extension for firefox to parse QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS and apply it instead, but that’s long gone. And normal Gtk apps never worked properly.
