I managed to resolve this by slightly loosening the top screw, they work fairly reliabily now. I need to look into perhaps increasing the friction of the scroll wheel, as I'm finding that sudden movement causes it to rock and scroll accidentally. I'm wondering if I could grease the ends of the scroll bar or something to that effect.
Valve do work pretty closely on contemporary hardware, but to your point, the kernel driver is decently robust, the display abstraction layer is largely common with the windows side (and also resides in the KMD on both environments), the mesa GL driver is solid and Marek's team are also beginning to contribute towards RADV.
AMD are also heavily involved with improving Linux desktop experience (particularly with Wayland), and host regular hackathons to that effort.
One of the comments on the phoronix post mention display stream compression (DSC) and fixed rate link (FRL - specific to HDMI 2.1), both assist with high bandwidth throughput.
Mine arrived today, have you ever had issues where holding down RMB also holds down LMB with it? I've experimented with loosening the top screw slightly, and it's greatly improved this behaviour but I don't believe it's been eliminated.
totally fine in my experience, and I 'dumb guy' my way through the whole thing.
my primary workstation system started with Fedora 28 > 43 - persisting through many hardware swaps and all sorts - though that's with the gnome desktop.
I'd imagine you could conduct full system upgrades via Discover on KDE too.
nvidia have been promoting 'big format gaming displays' since I want to say about 2019. Some of them reach the dimensions you specify, I just hope these are VESA adaptive sync/FreeSync capable and not all GSync Ultimate module displays (they can be made to work in VESA mode but not without issues in my experience).
I think I've seen one or two obscure TV models offering DisplayPort over USB type C, it may have been from Hisense
No prob, really sorry about the situation though, I know it sucks. I've been looking into replacing my TVs with large PC displays with DisplayPort.
I'm not sure if you can somehow work around the HDMI forum limitation with an active converter, but I think they're intended to be used at the adapter side (convert HDMI output to DP).
You don't need proprietary drivers nor should you have to disable MST.
If you're using HDMI 2.1, you won't be able to use VRR on a Linux system as the HDMI forum have blocked the AMDGPU implementation for the feature - they don't allow FOSS implementations of HDMI 2.1 VRR
this was the wildest thing to me
