  2. It depends on the skill and the ability of the people who have to look after the OS.
    Is the OS ready for 6K, 8K support? Fonts, color accuracy, a GUI that's ready for that resolution, support for people making a software, a full list of supported GPU.
    Once an OS lists that 6K, 8K as a supported resolution everything on the OS side has to be ready to look great and to code any software with.
    Fonts, a/the supported GPU, color, code to create applications that look the same at 4K, then 6K.
    Thats different from finding a working 4K, 8K GPU and having and the GPU show the OS at a resolution above 4K.

    Lots of work by very smart people and it has to be ready and supported.
    That is what sets modern OS apart. Support and the ability to code, color accuracy, software that supports new software creation.
