I'll probably just keep one of those .40$ pins around. Also makes for a nice gift

>linux is awful on HiDpi 4k screens

why didn't anyone tell me this

it's not?

solus has great HiDpi scaling

KDE and kwin in general have the best hidpi support

kwin is the only one with proper fractional scaling

"its not bad, its unimplemented"

Just saying both OS aren't optimal in terms of multi monitor

that's a retarded setup though

I can't think of any situation where you might want to do that

I used to have that setup many years ago when having both the igpu and a gpu that supports two screens, but have 3 screens in total

10+ years ago it was quite usual for mid range gpus to support two screens only

Maybe it's less common today, but it was more common in past

now any dedicated gpu has at least 3 ports you can connect to

and with DP you only need one

ports do not equal connectable monitors

quite many GPUsonly supported 2 (on windows)

mostly due how the gpu architechture and drivers worked

specialy if you had VGA display connected

oor 2 DVIs and hdmi

you would need to choose what ones to use

these days things are a lot better

to the point you dont even need KVM switches anymore

just daisy chain displayport friend

this still cracks me up

@Tervy Seriously? That would be real disappointing. How do I tell if my card only supports 2 without just plugging in more displays?

Phones gonna be triggering trypophobia soon

i mean most modern vidya cards support plenty of displays

you can buy a low end gpu to push like 6 displays if youre not doing gaming or 3d

also one displayport can be daisychained to multiple monitors

@Windatica I assume my cards fine with a shitton of displays, but just wanted to confirm

Also I'm just super sleep deprived today and not really thinking great, because there's no way my card wouldn't do at least 4
