Measure CPU temperature
$ sudo vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=44.4'C
# use `sensors` in Ubuntu given package `lm-sensors` installed.
monitor others

Desktop
set 2560*1440 (2K) resolution display
2K resolution is not supported by default, we should modify the /boot/config.txt
# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
-#hdmi_force_hotplug=1
+hdmi_force_hotplug=1
# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
-#hdmi_group=1
-#hdmi_mode=1
+hdmi_group=2
+hdmi_mode=87
+hdmi_cvt=2560 1440 60 3
# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
-#hdmi_drive=2
+hdmi_drive=2
# uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
# no display
