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).
What version would you recommend? I only know about proton which seems to be best for running most games. I know I’ve read where winds meet runs on proton
Not OP, but proton isn’t Linux it’s the software that makes games work on Linux, largely you don’t need to mess with the version of it (unless you’re into tinkering or something is behaving weirdly) as for which distro, that’s kind of a spiritual journey lol, find the one that clicks beat with you. I prefer Arch, but have heard good things about PopOS, Mint, and CachyOS. Of those CachyOS is the one that was specifically built to game, but ultimately the difference between distros of Linux is (for an average person) basically just what package manager you use.
