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).


This adds complexity but I’m running frigate on an intel laptop with the cpu providing detection. It’s just as capable as the google coral I was running before
The plan is to shift it all to my TrueNAS. I’ve got a VM setup so I can pass the Google Coral and an ARC A310 through.
I’m in the process of shifting all my data from my currently full pool to a new one and then will be repurposing a couple 4TB drives as striped mirrors with a pair of 240GB D3-S4510’s mirrored for metadata to act as the storage point. I’m currently running four 1080p cameras, a 4K ptz, and a dual 4K 180 degree stitched view camera with six 4K fixed cameras to be added along with a 4K PTZ and another 180 dual 4K. The ARC 310 will be used mainly for camera stream processing and a couple cameras object recognition the Coral will handle the rest.
Then my main desktop will be free for everything else.
