It's really unfortunate. Multi-monitor VRR is a must as I'm a gamer and I'd like my second monitor to be active when I'm playing, so I can use Discord and browse game guides, for example. I think I'll continue to buy AMD graphics cards until this issue is resolved.

You can always use Endeavour OS. It's Arch with a nice installer and some utilities already installed to make it easier to use and maintain. It uses Arch repositories, so for all intents and purposes, it is Arch. Manjaro is not.
Which is why I ask people one simple question: do they plan to game. If they plan to game, I don't recommend them Mint. If they aren't, I recommend them Mint.
I think you meant to answer OP.
Indeed. Nouveau simply does not have the gaming performance of Nvidia's proprietary driver.
Are you into gaming? If not, then it is perfectly fine to run the nouveau driver.
Many people are not activists like Richard Stallman. Perhaps it's better to run libre software, but it's perfectly reasonable to also run proprietary software.
For example, I switched to Linux when I could run proprietary games on Proton.
This post does not belong here. This is not a post about technology.
I'm using Manjaro. Firefox is the distro's default browser.
For me, VRR is crucial as I play a lot of FPS games or else, I don't feel that the mouse is the extension of my hand. That's why I switched from Gnome to KDE.
In KDE, I agree. I have an AMD video card and I've been gaming in KDE Wayland for quite a while now.
Indeed. I have an AMD video card and multi-monitor VRR works beautifully in Wayland. But unfortunately, according to some replies (and yours), Nvidia doesn't support it yet.
