What about HDR? (lemmy.zip)

I'm so done with win11, and currently 12 of my 15 machines are linux anyway, but AFAIK HDR (on nvidia gpu) is still impossible? Are you guys all on AMD or just not using hdr for gaming/media? So instead of relying on outdated info, just asking the pros :)

Damn. Nah, as long as i'd still need windows, I see totally no benefit in dual-booting. I could live with a VM for the banking stuff or so, but dualbooting. Meh :( And yes, it's already sucky enough on win. Though win11 made it better.

Thanks for your reply!

Dual booting is not bad!

What I do is share an NTFS partition between Windows and Linux for bulk data. If they’re DRM free, you can literally run the same games off the same drive.

Something goes wrong? I can just delete the windows partition and start over in 30 minutes, without losing hardly anything. It’s so much better as a “disposable” OS.

I also use two EFI partitions (the default Windows one and a new one for Linux) so there is zero possiblity of the OSes interacting.

To be blunt, I would never do banking in Windows if you can do linux. It’s just too much of a risk.

I use macrium reflect (which i would deerly miss on linux), so any mistake is just seconds away, and a complete restore in mere minutes. But as long as i HAVE to use win for hdr in games/media, i do have to use win. so dual-booting saves none of the risk unless win goes into a vm. wouldn't even need another one, my domain controllers (and dns and such) are already win-vms.
