I finally gave up my Nvidia 2070 Super and rejoined Team red with a 9070 XT. And it’s like this is the way everything was always meant to be.
HDR works without breaking font rendering. Sleep states just work. No more random border flickering in fullscreen or borderless windows. And the fans never even spin up.
I did have to unwind a couple Nvidia workarounds to swap over successfully (like /etc/environment needed cleaning up for sddm-greeter-qt to not core dump).
No ragrets.
No regerts.
Team red 4lyfe (again).
But sticking with nvidia will cost you your sanity. Besides, if switching doesn’t have to be super expensive if you get a used card.
Fair enough. I wonder how many of my problems are caused by Nvidia. I also have suspend problems, occasional crashes that dmesg isn’t helping me identify, and many games don’t play.
