Hello. Am thinking about purchasing an ASUS Vivobook S16 (S3607) when/if it becomes available and I would like feedback about how the display and graphics parameters will be accommodated in Manjaro Linux. Can Manjaro utilize the 16:10 WUXGA OLED display 1900 x 1200 resolution 16:10 aspect Intel Arc GPU? Also, How will Manjaro utilize the Intel Ultra 9 Series 3 processor with up to 50 NPU TOPS and a 70 Wh battery delivering up to 25 hours of use? LOL
Thanks (as always) for your (as always) very woderful and valuable assistance.
I have an integrated Arc and it supports a maximum resolution of 3840x2160, which is as much as my monitor allows. Therefore, I think you will not have a problem with the hardware itself, but the desktop environment is another matter.
I don’t know what @peiner85 means, but I’ve always liked 16 x 10 aspect ratio, better than the current fad for 16 x 9.
In terms of how the desktop will appear you will have more height to play around with, that’s pretty good. I used to use 12 Virtual Desktops, on my old 16 x 10 displays, now I can really only use 9, for the same effect.
Personally, I think you will enjoy the view much more.
In Manjaro 25 Zetar, neither GNOME was able to set all possible resolutions, nor was it possible to select a refresh rate higher than 60Hz in KDE. Only in Xfce did I have access to all possible modes. I don’t know if it’s a matter of Wayland, my monitor, or my graphics card. The monitor is from 2024. In version 26, KDE started to manage all settings correctly, but I don’t know about Gnome.
