Keith,
Thanks for the recommendations and summary with regard to the various flavors of Linux. Yeah, aside from my dabbling in the 90s, I've only in the past year-ish installed Lubuntu on that small desktop PC I mentioned having, and it seemed pretty easy. The only thing that confused the heck out of me was there not being a root user password to set up anymore.
But, I'm a little confused about your first paragraph. Did you install Linux on a ROCK64 and it tried to default to 3840x2160? That would almost be idea for me - well, with the exception that my monitor's 3840x1600.
If so, which flavor did you install, and what did you do/not do to get it to default to 4K?
