You misspelled Ubuntu. Edit: I don't know what I expected.

You misspelled Archlinux.

You misspelled Arch with a Debian install on another partition in case an update breaks everything.

Happened to me. With Catalina, my Mac Pro (2019, W5700X) was able to drive 2 LG 27GN950-B 27" monitors at 4K, 144Hz, HDR. Under Big Sur? 60Hz only, for HDR, or 95Hz without HDR. It seems Display Stream Compression (DSC) is broken in Big Sur, including 11.1, including for some Apple display users. For other users, doesn't matter the display, the GPU, or the cable, this seems broken. Apple gets bit (again) by the WFM b…

My m1 air does 5120x1440 @ 120hz, so they cannot cap out at 95hz.

Yeah, I definitely believe that is "this is the reported specs so we don't acknowledge anything beyond that".

It's nice to have options on Windows 10 and a choice of GPU and driver vendors.

ChromeOS. And I'm not even kidding. Everything you loved about switching from XP to OS X, or Blackberry to iPhone, all over again. And arguably better *nix support than Mac.

My Windows 10 installation forcibly rebooted to install updates right in the middle of a 10+ hour overnight render.

To people that post this type of comment, do you not have qualms about announcing to the Internet that you repeatedly decline critical security updates for enough weeks that Windows forcibly installs them?

That's why you get Windows 10 Pro instead of Windows 10 Home.

It's a Windows 10 Pro installation.
