My config is close to 15 years old and I’ve never had any issue with it. What are those horrific things you speak of? How do they affect me? I have no intention to migrate away unless I’m forced by circumstance.
I personally never got that point, because when you multi-screen, wouldn’t you specifically want two of the same model anyway because of color correction, fps and such? I know you can calibrate two different displays, but that will only get you so far and they’ll never look/feel the same.
I am sure there are use-cases for this, but how common is it that somebody needs this feature?
What’s much more common imo is connecting a laptop to two entirely different displays and mirroring the output and I had huge issues with Wayland in the past where it would just show half of the screen on either one, depending on resolution. Not sure if I did something wrong, but had to switch to X11 to make it work.
I think I get the point you’re trying to make, but these are hardware factors that just can’t be redeemed with software.
If you have two completely different panels, you will always have a visible difference, the only real answer is to get matching monitors (and then calibrate them, on top).
If your screens are gonna look different anyway, why even bother? I don’t get the specific use case (which doesn’t mean there isn’t one).

Clearly you never had multiple screens with different dpi values.

Why would I need two 32" ultrawide OLED 165Hz for? I have one for gaming, and a small 14" as a companion.
That’s the thing: you shouldn’t need to get identical monitors for technical reasons. And Wayland is much closer to that goal.

I think “i have this hardware and want to utilize it optimally” is peak Linux.
