I used linux for two years. I bought a new 4K Dell monitor, connected it to HDMI, booted into Windows, and it worked fine, then I booted into Ubuntu Linux and it just show no picture (the same thing happened in Elementary OS).
Then I booted into Fedora Linux and it also show no picture unless i got into settings and set it to 30 Hz (yes, I had a 60 Hz mode in it, it just did not work) - the same thing happened in Manjaro.
I could not get any picture at all in Ubuntu.
Notes:
I have secure boot disabled in my os because I disabled it for Manjaro installation..
Xorg drivers never worked for me, I always forced safe mode until I would not install Nvidia proprietary drivers..
I use AMD Ryzen 4th Gen mobile(laptop) processor, if it matters (I do not know how good is support for Ryzens in Linux)
I tried these solutions:
- Create an xorg mode with edid disabled and forced 60 Hz refresh rate,
- set a 60 Hz refresh rate, then I tried 54 Hz, and 50 Hz, nothing worked.
Then I just gave up after two days of trying.
