  • This has got a scary amount of up votes, especially considering that this is the ‘technology’ community.

    Radiowaves are also ‘light’ and infact as many others have mentioned so eloquently, light travelling through air is faster than light travelling through glass. The reasons why fiber is better are - better stability because of lower packet loss and interference, better efficiency because of lower attenuation and losses due to diffusion, reflection, and other processes when traveling in a fiber optic cable, and more bandwidth because we can use more favourable frequencies in optic cables (@qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website explains it perfectly in another reply to the parent comment)














  • My suspicion is that there’s some kind of extra data being pushed over the HDMI, since the Smart Board is more than just a monitor

    Yeah I have similar suspicions. Maybe some non standard HDMI protocols or extensions are at play. After all it is a patented, closed source protocol. Standard monitors and TVs (smart or otherwise) connect without any issue.

    I would start by asking in the ublue Discord. There may be an easy fix, or they may direct you to the project where you should file a bug report.

    Thanks for the advice. I will start with this.



  • So from some of your comments, it seems that by sharpness, you are referring to the sharpness of text in gnome on high resolution displays (4k in your case) when compared to macos or windows. Well in my experience, text rendering in Linux hasn’t been as good as the macos or windows but it has been improving steadily. If I remember correctly, the differences lie in the anti aliasing done to text to make them sharper. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong.

    Also maybe edit your post to mention that the high quality you are talking about is the sharpness of font rendering.
