Thanks for sharing your issue, but you should post in /s/Linux instead (we can then discuss about it. I have Mint running in a VM and it plays 4K flawlessly).
Just going to say I made a mistake by even posting that comment.
I honestly started to make a post about this in the Linux sub. Didn't ignore this.
Realized I would have to post more details about my system than I'm actually comfortable doing. Really don't want to start a troubleshoot thread targeting my system. Probably needless fear, I know.
Sorry, I'm just going to have to drop it. Lesson learned. Will try to get better at keeping my mouth shut about these things and also not just commenting whatever is on my mind at any given time.
