A minor correction - You can run a Raspbery Pi 4 @ 4K / 60Hz over HDMI. I'm doing it on an LG 32UD59-B. It did take a tiny bit of research and a non-obvious change to the monitor settings.
- geerlingguy 6y agoGood point. As with so many other things I ran into throughout the day, it comes down to "how many hours do I want to dedicate to searching docs and forums, tweaking obscure settings in config files and rebooting my Pi to try to get it to do things my macOS/Windows 10 laptops do out of the box?" (Also, can you link to what the setting is or mention it? I'd love to give it a try and see if I can get it working with my LG 27UD68-P.) And that's just the thing. I think there are a lot of people in the HN community who are saying right now "geerlingguy's an idiot, it's so easy to tweak all these settings!" But I care more about picking something up and starting to use it immediately. Defaults matter, and ecosystem matters. And it's not like the Pi Foundation is not trying—things have improved _vastly_ in the past decade. And that's why I tried this experiment finally (the Pi 4 is mostly-adequate, hardware-wise, for what I do). But I now know some of the things I would want to see before I could consider moving all my non-text-editor/k8s/infra-dev work over to a Pi-based or even Linux-based desktop.
