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).


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.
Well with Ubuntu LTS I never had HDR as a feature to begin with lol. So I didn’t have to worry about it.
Should be available OOTB as of 26.04 … At least with kde!
Yeah but I’m switching to Debian. So I still won’t have it for a couple years I think. 🥲
Available as of 13/Trixie last year (gnome 48/kde 6)!
