    After many years of thinking about it i finally gave Linux a try on my main PC and was met with the unfortunate realization that HDR support was non existent for NVIDIA cards and had to switch back to Windows.

      HDR will probably be supported in a year or two, so you might want to give it a try again at some point. There’s ongoing work to enable HDR.

        Thing is there will always be these sorts of features that are initially only supported on Windows as long as Linux is not a priority platform. So there will always be excuses to not switch :(

          Yes, and Desktop Linux won’t ever be as big as Windows, so long as almost all pc’s sold ship with Windows or macOS.

          But I feel like the excuses get less and less. Besides mixed DPI, HDR and VR I don’t think there’s much missing. Obviously there’ll always be apps that only run on Windows or Linux, but that’s fine.

          But you’re right. In a few years there’ll be a new feature not (yet) supported on Linux. Let’s see how long it takes for FSR3 to work on Linux.
