Hello everyone!

I'm using a 4k 48" TV as a monitor, and want to scale the screen down to 3440x1440 / 21:9 with black bars on the top and bottom. I've managed to do this with the AMD Adrenaline software on my Windows partition, but when I tried to create a custom resolution on my EndeavourOS partition with xrandr, the screen just goes black whenever I apply it.

Has anyone here been succesful doing this, or have any tips? Thanks!

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.
