From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Vertical screen not working properly (EndeavourOS) (lemmy.world)

I tried switching to Linux on my main PC (cause I'm bored and I have an extra SSD to waste). Like the video shows, I can't seem to get my left vertical monitor to properly configure on this OS. It's completely broken. I can't interact with anything on main monitor once I apply the settings as shown in the video.

The only way it works is if I keep my left monitor in horizontal position.

Google didn't help and apparently it seems to be a common problem. It's on me for choosing a broken distro but I kinda like it otherwise. I'd rather find a fix the screen problem.

I'm using an Nvidia 3070.

I tried Endeavour on i3 exclusively earlier and I was able to set up the monitor correctly by editing the config with vim. I think the problem was when I reinstalled it using xfce, the drivers I automatically got from

nvidia-inst

Didn't work right so I had to find an alternative source. Now everything functions perfectly.
