Replying to your comment again to say the cable worked. I could buy this exact cable, and my OpenSUSE Leap/KDE computer now does indeed work with 4k60hz on my TV.

Sadly, the processor isn’t really up to the task. But it was a bit of a shot in the dark anyway, I pretty much just hoped it’d work. But 1080p does do well, and on YouTube I generally watch 1080p.

I’ll try xfce next to see how that runs.

It seems to be the other way around. I reinstalled Gnome yesterday to test the HDMI 1.3 cable thing, and XDG_SESSION_TYPE is Wayland. And I’m pretty sure my KDE install didn’t have Wayland.

Looking online I only see G4 (and maybe later) ones. But thanks for the tip.

I don’t mind spending another €20. I’m pretty happy with my little computer costing only €100, including RAM and SDD.

Oh, also I am pretty sure HDMI 1.3 does not do 4k at all. Either 1080 or 1440p was the spec limit.

I didn’t think so either, but in Gnome it (at least this cable) did, like I said. I could easily tell and it said so in the settings.

This is happening in the Netherlands as well.

I’m sadly not happy with my PocketBook InkPad 4.

My PocketBook developed a crack near the charging port very soon after I got it. I got into contact with the company, and they handled it well, but I some time back saw it had developed a crack there yet again. Clearly it’s a structural issue.

The software is also mediocre at best. If you read pdfs, there’s this really weird issue where it fails to register long presses, but only in landscape mode. It simply stops very soon after the first press, so panning and pinch-to-zoom don’t work. I tried both pdf readers (it has two if I remember correctly) but it doesn’t matter. I also got into contact with PocketBook over this, and they were very receptive and seemed to want to understand and fix the issue, but it’s been more than a year now and it still isn’t fixed.

There’s also a minor (but to me major) graphical flaw when reading epubs, where the top margin is often ignored, meaning the text begins at the very top of the page. It annoys me, especially considering this is an expensive device developed specifically for reading epubs.

My main reason for picking PocketBook was that it supports lots of file formats, but, needless to say, I wouldn’t buy a PocketBook anymore.
