From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Question about High Refresh Rate Monitors and High Res Monitors on linux (lemmy.nz)

Hello, I cant seem to find any upto date info on this topic and all the old threads seem to suggest that these features do not work well on linux.

I am looking to get a 144hz monitor that is at least 2k in resolution. I have an Nvidia graphics card and KDE Plasma. I want to run two monitors and the 2nd monitors is 60hz and 1080p. Would this cause issues? Is there anything I need to consider when looking for a monitor?

I am currently using a high refresh rate monitor with Nvidia + Wayland + KDE Plasma and it works out of the box without any setup 👍

Same for me with my two monitors 1440x2560p 144Hz & 2560x1440p 165 Hz.

I got my bootup scrolling text to only display on the main monitor, but can't get the boot down text to stop displaying on both (sideways on the vertical one). Anyone got any tips for that (besides just turn the monitor off 😂)?

I use Arch btw
