I will when either Nvidia supports it fully, or AMD releases a GPU that can keep up in the ray tracing department.

Also, HDR support in Linux needs to get a lot better. Like an order of magnitude better. Then and only then will I switch.

    I'm run Nvidia since before I started using Linux. Sometimes waking from sleep doesn't work, other than that I have zero issues. Ymmv of course.

    I've already tried Linux with an Nvidia GPU. The driver is bare bones. You don't get the Nvidia App or even the Nvidia Control Panel. That means no 3D Settings page, no RTX HDR, no Shadowplay, no game filters, no video upscaling in Firefox... All features that I paid money to have and use daily.

    Point I'm making is that I didn't spend a bunch of money on a 4090, onlyto not be able to fully utilize every feature it has to offer.

    A friend of mine just installed CachyOS Desktop Edition (plasma) and I brought up the HDR calibration in windows, thinking that was something linux still didn't have. Turns out at least some DEs (i think thats a DE thing?) do have decent HDR support now. I still want RTX features tho.

    Those seem like niche things to hold on to. A 5090 should work just fine under Linux, what feature do you use that isn't supported? Also a 9070 XT is capable of doing ray tracing. You don't always have to have the absolute most powerful card.

    I don't have an HDR monitor so can't say how well it works in Linux, but you can survive without HDR. Is a better lighting contrast that big of a deal?

    With an Nvidia GPU on Linux, you don't get the Nvidia App or even the Nvidia Control Panel. That means no 3D Settings page, no RTX HDR, no Shadowplay, no game filters, no video upscaling in Firefox... All features that I paid money to have and use daily. None of it exists in Linux beyond wonky half-solutions.

    It doesn't mean you don't get those things, it just means that you don't use them via a control panel.

    There are a few solutions for shadowplay that are all decent to excellent, rtx HDR I think is automatic in Proton? Not sure what you mean by game filters unless you're talking about reshade, and I wasn't aware there was a video upscaler in Firefox.

    This is objectively untrue. I've seen it for myself.

    You get a bare bones driver and nothing else. That means no 3D Settings page, no RTX HDR, no Shadowplay, no game filters, no video upscaling in Firefox... All features that I paid money to have and use daily.

    I didn't spend a bunch of money on a 4090, only to not be able to fully utilize every feature it has to offer.

    Normally I would agree, but Nvidia's tools have come a long way since the GeForce Experience days (goodbye and good riddance to that garbage app).

    The features in the Nvidia App are all useful things that I like and enjoy. I'm sorry but I just cannot go without the Nvidia App. It's too fucking good.
