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).

As A long time Linux user I couldn't agree more. My son, who likes to game with me, was handing down his 'old' nvidia cards such as a 3070, so I put up with years of nvidia's crap. A couple of months ago I ripped out his 'old' 3070 and put in a new XFX brand AMD RX 7600. Works out of the box and plenty fast for HD resolutions. Why did I waste years of my life fighting with nvidia nonsense on Linux??

Similar boat, for me its cause of video editing and cuda, but how I hardly do that, and my reason before was because nvidia actually made Linux drivers while ATI (yeah, the last time I used a non-nvidia card in Linux) was a pain in my ass.

Things have changed just a little since they were ATI 🤣
