I’d tell you… if I had it!

I think it’s one of those things like freesync, high DPI and high refresh rates that you really have to see for yourself.

High-DPI I just don’t understand. I tried. Yeah, it’s pretty, but that’s all it is for me. More content on screen > sharper text for me, thank you.

Higher refresh rates and VRR are pretty neat though. Just at 75Hz I already feel the difference pretty clearly when I go back to my 60Hz laptop.

Is that why games always look better on Linux than on Windows?

Would be great for the tv screen with 4k and hdr that I have around for example.

It’s pretty great for media consumption and gaming, with the right hardware. Otherwise it kind of blows.

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.
