Ok, then why does the same display work perfectly in windows? The display supports full RGB both 8 and 10 bit uncompressed. There is an open issue for this on the driver gitlab repo.
Don’t monitor shame me please. Also, the pixel density is within 5% of my 27" 1440p monitors.
One warning, if you use a display over HDMI, then you might have a bad time with Radeon on Linux. I use an LG C2 TV as my monitor, and there is a bug in the driver that forces it to a crappy ycbcr mode that ruins text clarity. I did try all manner of workarounds like hacking up the EDID profile, but I gave up and went back to Windows for now.
It’s a very specific issue, but a showstopper if it affects you
I ran a 4790k with a 3070, was quite fun. Cyberpunk was a bit of a mess, couldn’t get north of about 40 even with low crowd density.
I moved to AM4 and have a 5800x, although I’ve replaced the 3070 with a 7900XT very recently.
I say there are three main things you might want to consider when choosing a mastodon instance, and these also apply to Lemmy.
The first is the native content of the server. You can follow anyone on any server (I’m not aware of any defederation drama over there like we recently had on Lemmy), but you do get a feed of local posts, which can be a good place to start when you are brand new.
The second is any local server rules. Instances can have rules around what types of content you can post (nsfw for example), and around content warnings (a lot of OG Mastodon users are really big on that). You should make sure you are happy with the rules before joining a server.
The last is the ongoing reliability of a server. I’d avoid joining anything really new or super small.
You can tryinstances.social. It asks you a few questions, and offers suggestions.
I’m pretty sure that is also the case in the US. These incidents are either caused by some sort of defeat device (I have seen weights that wrap around the steering wheel, no idea if they work), or people who have just gotten good at resting a hand on the wheel and not paying attention I think
