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).

    Nice karma farming post! :D

    Myself I have ofc had some issues with my RTX 4090, since I also do AI stuff Nvidia is the way to go. But I want to give other users the nuance that if you get a gaming distro (cachy, garuda, pika, nobara) you will meet little resistance with at least newer cards.

    Of course AMD will give you a better put of the box experience, at a more affordable price.

        It was of course a cheeky comment, what I meant was that it proclaims a very popular opinion.
