Heya, I’m currently using my old tv as a monitor and the problem is that it seems to have overscan and I can’t go into the tv menu to change it. Do you know of any desktop environments that allow you to resize the window height and width? I’ve tried KDE with kdoctor and xrandr settings but all it did to me was changing hiw much of the desktop I was able to see without changing the resolution if that makes sense. Like The taskbar not only being cut off at the bottom half bc of Overscan but now thanks to the change in display settings as well.

So I’m in need of a desktop that has it’s own feature to counteract that.

Any help appreciated, thanks

I think it’s kind of an outdated setting… I was looking a while back.

I believe I saw some people that were able to with xorg but not wayland

Opposite for KDE. Wayland supports overscan, Xorg does not.

I hope to be able to do that with xorg bc my graphics card probably has problems with Wayland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
