I’m still new to Linux so please have patience lol.
So I downloaded a ton of Linux iso’s a few months back and tried them all out two at a time keeping Windows 10 as my go to if I screwed something up lol. It took about four weeks before Opensuse Tumbleweed emerged as my go to Linux distro. I do game some so I had to find something that would accommodate that. I muddled through and found out how to load amdgpu during boot, discovered Lutris and Steam, and learned what not to do after breaking Linux a few times. Now I only have Windows on a virtual machine and haven’t used it in weeks. I’m still testing other Linux distros which brought me here. Currently I’m using Tumbleweed, FX and Fedora. The only issue I couldn’t figure out was why I couldn’t get above 30 Hz refresh rate. After installing Fedora I enabled amdgpu then rebooted into Tumbleweed. Because when I saved the grub2 file in Fedora it said it made changes to Tumbleweed as well. Went to my display settings and now I can choose 60 Hz. My question is… Is it possible that when I saved the grub2 file in Fedora it made changes to my video settings in Tumbleweed? I only had 30 Hz refresh rate available in all three before saving that file. I was also under the impression that all three distros would operate independently. Is this not the case? I’m more interested in the “how did this happen?” than anything else. Any input would be greatly appreciated
Would not think so. But a new install will change which OS (grub) controls the boot which may set things to a different state before chaining to the selected OS maybe??? Possibly need to add a parameter or two to the TW boot to achieve the same.
I thought about that but wasn’t sure. It’s changed in all three. I just wish I knew why. I was trying to modify amdgpu in TW to get 60hz but hadn’t made any headway. Then it just happened with Fedora. Guess I need to see why it happened in Fedora lol. Thank you for the response
I use KDE and configure with System Settings > Display and Monitor > Display Configuration. Systems don’t share data. All distributions can share efi system partition. However data are stored in separate directories:
Post #4 wasn’t revealed to me until after submitting #5 that I expected to be #4. I was asking OP about his display. Post #4 reveals 3840x2160@60 on karlmistelberger’s system.

Have you tried running your session in Xorg instead of Wayland?
Are suse-prime or suse-prime-bbswitch installed?
When you paste info request results here, please use code tags, and include each command. This preserves the formatting of the output, which clarifies it, and shows where it came from.
Some of what you pasted is confusing. It seems to say you are using two displays, one 1920x1080, the other 3840x2160. It does report dual graphics devices, one Intel, the other AMD.
The inxi -G command didn’t tell us enough. It should have been at least inxi -GS to report X session type. Better would have been inxi -GSazy.
This is a desktop. HP/Compaq elite 8300. The intel graphics is integrated and not being used. I’m using an AMD R9 270 card. I’ll get the output of inxi -GSazy and post it when I get home.
Turns out the problem was with my graphics card. The hdmi port is hdmi 1.4. 4K @ 60hz is possible using a display port to hdmi 2.0 adapter though. In the mean time, 1080 it is lol.
