How is multi-monitor on linux? (pawb.social)

I'm considering buying second small touchscreen monitor, but I've been only ever running single monitor setup. How much hassle would it be? Is it possible to make mouse captive to primary monitor, and operate this secondary only as touch? Would running screens at different resolutions be a big problem?
Running KDE on Wayland, AMD graphics.

I used KDE with X11, an AMD card, and two different sized monitors for the longest time without any issues. It's pretty plug and play.

With Wayland I did try months ago and it just worked™, but I don't have a long experience with it.

Unfortunately, I've no direct experience with the touch integration.
