Hello, i have a weird issue on my dell latitude 6430u with setting ny external display to 1920 X 1080 on my moniter. (That is the recommended resolution) and almost all the time it just bugs out or glitches. Sometimes it doesn't even display. I know the graphics in it can output it because windows 10 does it. And Zorin OS 11 can do it (though its like real old) how can i make it actually output that? Im new to linux and straight from windows. So i don't really know How linux works. Thanks!
Try to switch to Xorg. Logout and at login click on your username, then a cog wheal appears at the bottom right corner. There you can switch between two options, Xorg and Wayland, but only one iof them is named. Select Xorg there.
If it doesn't help, try to install kernel 6.8
sudo apt install linux-generic linux-headers-generic
reboot and in grub menu at Advanced options for Zorin select kernel 6.8 (not recovery kernel) to boot from.
You can set this kernel as default if it solves your problem.
