A friend of mine just installed CachyOS Desktop Edition (plasma) and I brought up the HDR calibration in windows, thinking that was something linux still didn’t have. Turns out at least some DEs (i think thats a DE thing?) do have decent HDR support now. I still want RTX features tho.
Comment on AdGuard is yet another app to block Windows Recall

Also, HDR support in Linux needs to get a lot better. Then and only then will I switch.

I’m run Nvidia since before I started using Linux. Sometimes waking from sleep doesn’t work, other than that I have zero issues. Ymmv of course.

I’ve already tried Linux with an Nvidia GPU. The driver is bare bones. You don’t get the Nvidia App or even the Nvidia Control Panel. That means no 3D Settings page, no RTX HDR, no Shadowplay, no game filters, no video upscaling in Firefox… All features that I paid money to have and use daily.
Point I’m making is that I didn’t spend a bunch of money on a 4090, onlyto not be able to fully utilize every feature it has to offer.

nvidia supports it

This is objectively untrue. I’ve seen it for myself.
You get a bare bones driver and nothing else. That means no 3D Settings page, no RTX HDR, no Shadowplay, no game filters, no video upscaling in Firefox… All features that I paid money to have and use daily.

bare bones driver
is that not a pro?
you can install all the features you mention separately if you want.

Those seem like niche things to hold on to. A 5090 should work just fine under Linux, what feature do you use that isn’t supported? Also a 9070 XT is capable of doing ray tracing. You don’t always have to have the absolute most powerful card.
I don’t have an HDR monitor so can’t say how well it works in Linux, but you can survive without HDR. Is a better lighting contrast that big of a deal?

None of it exists in Linux beyond wonky half-solutions.

Maybe bring that up at Nvidia. The Linux Community is not obligated to deliver you your needed functions for free :)
Other solution: don’t pay for it. Don’t buy Nvidia because they don’t support Linux.

The AMD adrenaline software for adjusting settings and power profiles for AMD GPUs also does not work on Linux btw so it’s not like it’s only Nvidia that’s the problem.
