Interesting. If you have some time, might be worth trying to live USB boot drive of something like fedora desktop kde spin or pop_os cosmic DE just to see if the issue persists for other distros.

I'm theory this should be working now, it's too bad it isn't. My desktop is a 4 monitor setup that I'm hoping to move to a fedora based distro as well.

Pop_OS was the first distro I tried before coming to Bazzite. Cosmic sorta worked, but was overall worse... No flickering there, but eventually, a few minutes after logging in, the desktop would freeze. Completely unusable unfortunately. I think Bazzite is fedora based iirc? I don't know, this is my first attempt at anything beyond putting Ubuntu on old laptops.

Ya bazzite is based on fedora with an immutable file system, so it's called fedora atomic. Fedora atomic then has variants like bazzite, universal blue etc.

I'm curious if the baseline fedora desktop would have the same issues.

Multi refresh rate on monitors is a relatively new thing for Linux so bugs are still being ironed out. It sucks that things like these are still not at parity with windows but it's improving.
