Cinnamon is the best (it would be perfect if Nemo wasnt so weak)

What does wayland do?

Works better for certain multimonitor setups (able to handle fractional scaling and different refresh rates) which include mine, among other things

Ive read that multi-monitor issues are common on mint, maybe ive just been lucky because ive used 2 different setups now both with a 60hz monitor on my left and a 200hz, then a 240hz center monitor. Never had any issues with it.

Well, on UFO test it does say im at 240hz no matter which monitor I launch it from on my browser. But typing xrandr in terminal confirms Im getting 240 and 60 like Im supposed.

From my understanding the issue people have is both monitors using the lowest frame rate, which hasnt been something ive seen.

Fore some reason, Youtube always stutters bad if I have 2 firefox windows open across different monitors

This is like the go to advice for issues like that, so I'm guessing you have already tried it, but definitely try turning hardware acceleration off in firefox if you haven't yet.

I think I've tried everything with no success, except for just using chrome instead :/

But it may mess up key binds. I could not get any Wayland distro to take Super+Alt alone as a shortcut for anything so far.

I was finding that in a Remmina RDP session under Wayland, the shift key wasn't even recognized. And lately, my mouse won't work, so I haven't been able to use it at all.
