It seems like you made the font size, apps, and everything else smaller on the 4K monitor. How did you do that? Do I have to get a 4K monitor to do that? Can i get a regular 40" TV and do that? Thanks.

 

It would need to be a 4K TV or monitor. I set the display scaling at 100%, everything is perfectly sized to read at that resolution on such a big monitor. Some have mentioned how such a big monitor defeats the object of 4K, but to me it's perfect. I prefer a larger screen that packs more or less the same pixel density as a 27" 1440p, I did have an ASUS 28" 4K that I sent back as I was really underwhelmed by it and don't see the hype of such a high pixel density in such a small space. I've since retired my side monitors as all the windows fit nicely on the 40" at the same time. As for gaming it scales beautifully between 4K, 144p and 1080p depending on how demanding the game is with no distortion or pixelation sat 3ft in front of it.

My newest Addition to my couch computer. A 3rd Monitor. I've wanted one for a while, because when I remotely connect with GoToAssist, the program is ALWAYS on top of other apps. So to see what is behind you have to drag it out of the way and see what is behind it. So I have always wanted to put it on it's own dedicated monitor. So when a remote session is scanning I can just put it up top

I don't know how you can use your PC with that green light. I'd feel like I was in a laboratory and that I was dying from radiation.

Its not on all the time. Just something I liked the idea off but the practicality is a little rubbish.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
