One thing has changed.

The DAWN of the MECHANICAL MAN means that I just asked an ai what all
this is and how to fix it.

It told me to buy a better dvi to hdmi adapter.

I told it, "why would I do that when I can just use amdgpu.dc=0 to fix
it?"

it said that's not a real fix but that what it was doing was basically
cheating it to work but that it's better to buy a better adapter.

I told it no, I want a software fix, and it gave me one. I simply needed
to chuck the following in grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=DP-1:2560x1440@60e"


Now I get all the wonders of dc=1! What wonders? No idea. Maybe video games 
will run prettier now.

  Booting from GRUB into 4.14.59 allows my two monitors to run at their native 
resolution, 2560x1440. Any newer kernel does not allow my two monitors to run 
at their native resolution, only allowing up to 1920x1200.
