Haven’t tested it, but apparently the orange pi zero 3 is pretty decent at 4k.
Definitely Not GustavoM. :^)

…or OP could buy another PC and use it solely to run Windows whilst s/he gets the hang of Linux on his/her main PC.
That’s like asking, “Hey, guys! Should I eat a hamburger?” – you want to use linux because you find it useful, or because “everyone is doing it” and you want to feel included? If it’s the former… then by all means, do it. The learning curve may be confusing at first (considering most windows users have a “duck syndrome” – expecting linux to behave the same as windows), but it’s totally worth it.
Pros: Customization, privacy, ease of use (And yes, it’s much easier to use than Windows when you are fully aware of its “ins and outs”.)
Cons: None.
Then again, if I -REALLY- had to use Windows, I’d use it on another PC (preferably w/o internet) while leaving my “main” PC for Linux only. Scary, I know.
tl;dw: Linux user discovers the magical wonders of customizing your system from the ground-up and make it usable.

Forgot to mention it also has a “poor man’s htop” at the top center of the screen, that fetches memory and cpu usage at each keystroke (only). Definitely not for the “powerhouse PC gamer” out there, but for the potatoes (raspberry pi zero, a very old router, etc).
That is a bunch of unnecessary noise just because an AI managed to code a working python code for you. Like that’d make your command “cursed” or some sort.

Been using Wayland since 3’ish years ago and my desktop experience has been really smooth – no crashes, errors or anything of the sort. Everything “just werks” just as if I were on Xorg instead. Even on a completely obscure/zero linux support single board computer (Orange pi zero 3).
“But can Linux install things via a single .exe file? HAHAH EAT IT NERD!”

My streambox/shizbox machine (a Orange pi 5 MAX w/ 16Gb of ram) has Armbian “bleeding edge”/sway (Which is basically “Rolling release Debian”, and no DE) – everything just werks. It’s as easy as “Install packages, copy .dotfiles in, run, done.”. With those things said… yes, I am using Debian. And yes, I also has the latest packages – without breaking things apart. And no, I don’t want to go back to x11.
