same here. switched back after years of dual booting because on all my DEs over the years I consistently had these issues, not to mention I make music and daws fucking hate Linux / wine. just made sure to debloat it before I used it.
I saw in your other comment that you were using Gnome. A lot of people like it, but Gnome wouldn’t be my recommendation.
I use a multi-monitor setup not that different from yours, and KDE handles it swimmingly. I also have an Nvidia card and I’m using X.org. I probably could use Wayland, but I’m in no rush.
If you really want to stay with a GTK desktop, then XFCE is excellent also. Budgie too.
Browsers and Steam would just randomly crash. I think it has something to do with scaling because the Programs always crash when i move them from Monitor to Monitor.
I’ve heard a few people say scaling was an issue for them. It hasn’t been for me, and I run various multi monitor setups, so maybe I’ve been lucky. Did you try enabling Gnome’s experimental scaling? I always do, and supposedly that’s been enabled as default in Gnome 45.
i actually switched back to Windows from Linux because it didn’t work well with different resolutions and scaling and my Programs kept crashing.

Interesting. Were you running Windows programs with Wine?
Nope. Flatpaks and native Nix Packages.

No, i actually didn’t even know that exists. Might try it out again on my secondary SSD
Prob a gnome issue, I’ve never had an issue with scaling on kde, xfce, or i3 with my 4 monitors
