* Other than that, I'll second the suggestion to try booting another distro, from a USB stick or something. But plasma can definitely handle at least side-by-side 4K, totaling 7680x2160, on both xorg and wayland, because I've been doing that for years. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
