    What do operating systems have to do with monitor compatibility? I thought that you just needed a working video output and HDMI/DisplayPort/etc did the rest.

      I’m using a Samsung Odyssey Ark and use PIP or PBP to have my desktop and work laptop displayed together. No matter what I try, text becomes illegible on Windows in this mode, but it works flawlessly in Linux.

      Anecdotally, I have personally encountered a bug where my Linux system couldn’t handle the EDID from the monitor — so that particular model of monitor didn’t function with Linux despite it working fine on Windows.
