When I go into Display Settings, it seems like my computer thinks that both monitors are sending this EDID so it&amp;#x27;s put the second monitor into the wrong mode.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Seems like 2023 isn&amp;#x27;t the Year of the Linux Desktop either.&lt;p&gt;* I say &amp;quot;mostly&amp;quot; because to 99+% of the people, telling them &amp;quot;this monitor works great on both Mac and Windows and shows nothing but a black screen on Linux, but don&amp;#x27;t worry; it has &lt;i&gt;nothing to do with Linux&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot; will get you some pretty quizzical looks.</text></comment>
