I’m newer to Linux gaming, but the consensus I’ve seen is that AMD is better on Linux. Will these actions change your mind? I already have Nvidia hardware, so an open source kernel module sounds like a win.
Both of them have their own issues, but historically, Nvidia have been considerably worse, because they not only required a proprietary driver, but also adamantly refused to support certain features, crippling the functionality of a lot of compositors.
Today, I’m having zero issues with an Nvidia card, on Kwin/Wayland. Everything that runs in native Wayland runs flawlessly. Games through Xwayland run great too, now that explicit sync is actually there.
Worth noting that I don’t have a VRR display, and don’t have a card that supports frame generation. The latter just is not implemented at all, and the I’ve heard there are issues with the former
I do have issues with VRR on my AMD gpu too though, so that’s not strictly exclusive to nvidia.
Is why I can’t use AMD. My primary display is a TV. Yea, there are large monitors with Display Ports, but they didn’t exist until recently and most if not all are inferior to a high quality TV in picture quality.
cant you just use a DP to HDMI adapter to get hdmi out?
As comment in another post said - this is for modules only. There’s still a ton of binary fluff that is the main cause of issues and that is not getting open sourced.
