It’s astounding to me that in Linux, in 2025, I can’t just simply output a custom resolution. You are probably typing a response right now with some xrandr nonsense and I PROMISE you, it won’t do it. I can’t even scale my screen within a normal resolution to make it fit within a boundary. But I can do this in windows with an nvidis gpu. Crazy

Nope I can output 4k just fine. That’s not the issue. The issue is I want a 2.35:1 aspect resolution. I can do this on windows and nvidia but not on Linux (steam deck, intel nuc, etc)
