At this point, such shenanigans are to be expected when using Windows.
I guess my next machine will have a VGA port ;-)
And no Windows.

VGA still has EDID which this is based on, so this situation could've happened in that era if companies were less hostile.
But this is definitely something Windows does.
As long as you don't need some Windows-only software, Linux is a viable alternative now. KDE Plasma is a great desktop environment and even most games run flawlessly on Steam. And if you do need Windows occasionally, you can put it into a VM.
Eh, kinda. I have new-ish MSI laptop with nvidia and it's still not good enough. I tried on the spare nvme and it just doesn't work well enough with these few games I want.
Close but still not there. And Plasma has its own problems (I have it on my work laptop with Fedora).
