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).

    I have an NVidia 3070 RTX and never had any single problems. I really never had problems with NVidia at all on Ubuntu, ever. I always stuck with LTS versions though.

      I’ve bought various cards from GTX 970 up to my current RTX 3090 and never had any real issues. So I recommended an RTX 5060 to my wife’s friend’s kid (we’ve helped him build and upgrade a Linux computer over the last years) because it seemed like the best value he could get for his modest savings. After installing the card for him I spent hours trying to get it working… In the end I got it to boot and use the GPU in games, but the computer still hangs indefinitely if he tries to shut it down, so every time he has to hold the power button to turn it off. Since then I’ve got some suggestions for things to try from the Bazzite discord, so I hope it’ll be possible to fix.

      Same same :3

      The only time I had issues with my 3070 was when I was messing around with drivers, and fucked up some stuff, but that was easy enough to fix (and my fault for messing it up in the first place lol)

      Truly happy for you!

      I was originally multi booting LTS Ubuntu to meet reqs for work with Arch for gaming and everything except sleep worked pretty well. The Wayland cutover sucked for years as they fixed one thing and broke another. HDR never worked correctly.
