Can't get installer to boot - BIOS freezes after selecting my USB drive
EFI agent https://github.com/benbaker76/EFI-Agent is one of the very first things I install on a new hack. Open a Finder window in column view for the USB EFI and a separate Finder window for the internal SSD's EFI once they've mounted.
- Can anyone make heads or tails about this guide for the Lenovo ThinkPad T480? I don't have the EFI partition on my pendrive using Windows and diskpart.

Samsung Monitor not working - looking for recommendations!
In the mean time however, I can recommend a free application that I found worked wonders for my display. While I tried BetterDisplay, and love everything the developer does, I found when changing resolution the process was a bit clunky. Instead I recommend RDM. It is as easy as installing the application, opening it, clicking the little icon in the menu bar, and selecting a resolution with a little lightning bolt next to it (HiDPi resolution) which should give you a crisp, well scaled, external monitor. Then every time you restart your max it should automatically open the application and apply these settings!

How to screen not move when mouse pointer reaches edge of the screen while zoomed in?
The software they discuss, RDM (https://github.com/avibrazil/RDM), allows you to force a specific resolution, and will likely send you down the right path. To use this, You will probably have to change the resolution before you launch your game, and then change it back afterwards, otherwise you’ll find yourself losing items behind the notch in the menu bar.

Yeah, using non-Apple monitors with a mac is a pain. Try "Retina Display Manager" - https://github.com/avibrazil/RDM - as it allows you to switch to the sharper HiDPI resolutions supported on your monitor.
