That they could just take off the shelf tools &amp;amp; plug around for a bit, learning &amp;amp; understanding a complex situation with crude &amp;amp; fast debugging, knowing only a little of the internals, and in the end improve their own situation clearly. And then they could share that knowledge with others in such a clear manner.&lt;p&gt;Nothing else in computing is like this. We just cannot help ourselves &amp;amp; each other in most realms of computing: we must be content with what we are given, as it is.&lt;p&gt;In almost all probability the linux system either doesn&amp;#x27;t have a GPU capable of running this high pixel clock or the cable&amp;#x2F;connector can&amp;#x27;t handle it. I&amp;#x27;d love to know what the Mac &amp;amp; windows machines do; do they run 60Hz too or are they pushing all 144Hz here successfully? This seems very likely to be a cable issue, one I don&amp;#x27;t expect windows nor Mac deal with particularly excellently.</text></comment>
