I'm not a big fan of Windows 8. I do development on my desktop Linux box or Mac laptop. What Linux distro did you have trouble with using 4K? Any idea if Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn released this month) addresses any of the 4K driver issues? |

Linux mint was the the distro I was using for their HiDpi support. I'm not sure if it matters that much as it's really the drivers that let it down. I also tried the latest Fedora but that failed to even boot on my machine... (probably wasn't monitor related).
To be honest you could probably get it to work with perseverance and Linux nohow. One of the problems I was having was that whenever I would wake the screen from sleep it wouldn't give me a login dialog and would require a hard reset. When I searched the problem I got the open-source blame shift, "it's their implementation that's broken. We're not changing our code" so I ragequit and went back to Bill.
