I decided to buy external monitor. I bought iiyama from G-Master. My laptop is Asus Zenbook Flip 15. I wrote to vendor with questions:
If signal from dGPU came across APU to HDMI port (I search that I should select FreeSync/G-SYNC and to search for monitors with other parameters based on GPU)
It will support FreeSync/AdaptiveSync, G-Sync or Both
What is maximum refresh rate
Vendor told me, signal will route with APU, going from dGPU, do not support G-Sync, do not support Freesync and maximum refresh rate will be 100Hz.
Does my laptop support VRR or this is only fake switcher
Can I burn monitor/laptop by setting bigger refresh rate than 100Hz?
Does Linux do better than Windows (I do not test this monitor/laptop on Windows, but it came with Windows 10 preinstalled).
What about HDMI port - there is MUX, so signal can go from dGPU directly or inderectly from APU?

HDMI 2.1 supports VRR, HDR, high frequencies, etc.

I see ports: active: HDMI-A-1,eDP-1 . It is probably display name. I do not see HDMI kind.
When running with sudo, program hangs after displaying swap information.

So, what should I do? Running with root privileges does hang on gathering swap information. Without root rights, I cannot see any useful information.
