I’m on a Sony OLED with a 3090. I game some, and color grade photos/videos in HDR.

…And I can’t get HDR to look right in KDE, even with the display running off my AMD IGP. It has basically zero options for me to tweak.

So I use Windows for that.


Honestly, it’s hard enough on Windows. It’s a coin flip as to whether apps works or not, and the TV needs adjustments for some, lest they crush black or blow out highlights/colors. Many games, specifically, need configurable mods to look right.

One of my saddest video workflows is transcoding on Linux, and downloading the result to my iPhone to see if it looks right.

    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.
