Nvidia is fine and I have a 3080. I have vrr on my 4k display working fine when run with 2 non vrr 1080p monitors, and full hdr support. That’s using the 570 driver in fedora.

Piper is a godsend. It’s better than Logitech G Hub and much more like Logitech’s old simple software that let you quickly remap buttons.
terraborra@lemmy.nzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are you better off than your parents at your age?351·3 months agoI would say same standard of living but the difference is they had a kid and my wife and I don’t. We simply could not have the same lifestyle if we had children.
Or the end of the cassette if you’re old enough.
Pop OS worked straight out of the box with the Nvidia driver build BUT it’s using an old version of Gnome desktop environment so doesn’t have support for HDR or VRR. Pop is based on Ubuntu so all the Debian and Ubuntu terminal commands will be familiar.
Fedora is leading edge and so long as you opt in for non-open source drivers works with Nvidia and runs HDR and VRR in KDE (haven’t used the Gnome version).
Haven’t tried any other distros but Bazzite seems well recommended.
Lutris is the recommended software for non-steam games. If you search for that and Sims/EA you should be able to find out if it’ll work for you.
I only use windows now for sim racing and Vr, but I also don’t play online games with anti-cheat. Linux seems pretty stable and I’ve found it easy to use.
terraborra@lemmy.nzto OpenSourceGames@lemmy.ml•For which game would you most like to see a FOSS alternative?9·4 months agoGran Tourismo 2 & 3 and Unreal Tournament. Basically recreations in modern engines.
Those games defined the late 90s/early 00s for me.
terraborra@lemmy.nzto Linux@lemmy.ml•Which new Protocol or Standard are you most excited about?9·4 months agolol. I searched “nvidia 570 Linux” less than a week ago and nada. Just did it again based on you comment and it looks like it was released 2 days ago.
You’re an absolute legend! Thanks for the heads up.
terraborra@lemmy.nzto Linux@lemmy.ml•Which new Protocol or Standard are you most excited about?13·4 months agoVRR that works with multiple monitors connected. Unfortunately that’s an Nvidia driver issue rather than a missing Linux protocol, so could be waiting a while.

Huh TIL. Sorry if I sounded dismissive of GNOME, I was just going by what has and hasn’t been implemented. I actually hated how Plasma looked and how it was set out so ended up getting a global Mac OS theme to fix it.
Part of the reason for dual booting is to figure out which DE I prefer having only just moved over from windows.
I’m currently dual booting Pop OS and Fedora KDE edition with a 3080, so essentially using both an old GNOME version (Pop) and Plasma 6 (Fedora). Pop works straight out of the box if you choose the Nvidia install and the Nvidia controls are fairly similar to Windows.
Fedora gave me some problems getting it going, but once I’d opted in to proprietary drivers, and did a few updates, it’s been all good. The HDR implementation in Plasma is way better than Win 10 and the only issue with VRR is that it won’t work if you have a multi-monitor setup. Turning off the other monitors works fine. The gpu controls are more limited though.
GNOME is a bit behind Plasma. VRR is an experimental feature and HDR doesn’t run on Nvidia cards. Both should be fixed sometime this year I believe.
If you undervolt your card you are out of luck. There are some limited overclocking tools but underclocking seems like a bit of a nightmare.
terraborra@lemmy.nzto Linux@lemmy.ml•I have an Nvidia GPU, should I get an Intel or AMD CPU?29·8 months agoThere were chips that suffered from oxidative flaws during the manufacturing process which Intel didn’t tell anybody about until July of this year. You are correct that they aren’t on sale now but it’s not correct to say this was only a voltage issue.
terraborra@lemmy.nzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's one of your favorite genres of music and what's your favorite thing about it?5·8 months agoYup, you’ve got everything from chilled liquid, to pop-like anthems, to full on neuro and dark step. Love it.
I play D4, Last Epoch and PoE.
I enjoyed the D4 story for my first play through and the recent changes for season 4 have made levelling to endgame much more enjoyable. It is much simpler than PoE and I play it knowing that as something fun that I can pick up and put down at will.
Last Epoch I’m playing to try out each mastery. Even though it’s now a 1.0 release it’s still a bit barebones. Give it a couple of cycles and it’ll be more fleshed out especially in the endgame. I think of it as a middle ground between the simplicity of D4 and complexity of PoE. I like that I can easily try off meta builds through passive refunds and make my own builds.
PoE scratches the D2 itch for grinding. I’m an addict who like spreadsheets.

This is a weird one, but read up on folder structures. If you’ve used MacOS at all then the logic is very similar. However if you’re coming from a pure windows background then it can get confusing figuring out where everything gets put when you install applications or need to make changes to config files.
The Pop desktop environment and search works well the vast majority of the time but it’s handy to know how to find you’re way around when you hit a roadblock.
