Ubuntu 18.04 LTS mouse pointer will still be rendering at 60fps if using Wayland.

Nice, but I don't like Gnome 3.
How is is the support for these displays on KDE Plasma ?

Fine, from what I've heard and seen. GNOME on Wayland has had some specific issues regarding refresh rate but I think most will be ironed out in 3.34.

Thanks!
Now I hope I will see soon 4K displays that can have refresh rates more than 60.

They already exist, but are incredibly expensive and the display protocol uses compression to achieve so.

Now I won't have to use an environment variable to turn off the refresh rate limit for gnome

I had a 60hz and 75hz screen plugged in the other day and had 0 issues all day (work and gaming)... that help?

What about 144Hz? Any ideas if such refresh rates would work OK on KDE?

Yes, this it was what I was curios about, maybe not exactly on 144Hz, but still anything over 75.
