would actually solve 90% of problems.
With Linux:
I don't have forced updates.
I do have driver compile error when I update the kernel.
I don't have spyware recording my screen.
I don't have Discord record my screen when I want it to, either.
I don't have ads for games in my launcher.
I don't have HDR for games in my Steam library.
Etc.
I mean tbf most of these Linux issues are pretty easy to fix/avoid.
Honestly, that was the biggest difference for me, when I switched.
A bunch of my issues I'd had on Windows just went away, overnight. And, sure, I ran into other problems; but I would've on Windows, too, except I can usually resolve them on Linux.
My machine is so much more usable, just on a daily basis; and I've learned so much more about my computer naturally since I switched.
HDR works quite well, with a bit of tinkering naturally, for Steam games. (Fedora 42 using ProtonPlus to get GE-Proton-10 and modifying the launch parameters)
What GPU and DE? It's been a complete nightmare for me, and only the gamescope WSI seems to actually work.
GNOME, what else. AMD Ryzen censored 7 350 with Radeon 860M 32GB of RAM Internal Display
The drivers for the GPU are unfortunately not in the LiveUSB image so I had to connect my laptop using a HDMI to VGA converter to my CRT monitor to install Fedora xD
Launch options are: PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%
I don't use GNOME, but I'll give those launch parameters a try and see if that works, thanks!
Edit: It didn't work. The game could detect HDR, but the color was completely washed out. Probably Nvidia being Nvidia, but oddly enough HDR can work if I use gamescope as an intermediary.
What DE do you use?
KDE Plasma 6. HDR is supposed to be supported and I do have it enabled under the monitor settings...
Yeah, I would really recommend you switch over to Gnome for things like that. KDE is just a buggy mess of a DE
