So apparently I can't do variable refresh rates over HDMI with my Nvidia RTX 3070 on Linux. It only "works" via DisplayPort. Works is in quotes because for some reason either this monitor is sending the wackest shit ever pretending to be an EDID header or Nvidia's drivers are well and truly fucked beyond recognition trying to boot with my monitor connected via DisplayPort results in the video signal getting cut off as soon as it tries to go up to 1920x1080. I thought this might just be a bug with the proprietary kernel drivers so I switched to the nvidia-open ones. Same problem. Thought maybe that turning off modesetting might fix it. It sort of does but then KDE loads at 1024x768 at 60 hertz, realizes that that makes no sense on a monitor that's ostensibly 1920x1080 at 165, tries to change to that mode, and the system hangs.

I definitely wouldn't want to be turned into a robotgirl and my body is the new steam cube. That definitely wouldn't be something I deeply enjoy.

All the robotgirls who follow me would probably enjoy it tho

@varx I'll have you know I'm very real and also that SteamOS is the superior gaming platform*

* assuming you're using games without 3rd party Anti-Cheat
* Also other distros are better if you're not using a SteamDeck but Linux is still superior.

(very offended) Oh you "ran" the numbers? That's terrible.

Well, I **walked** all my numbers and called them **all** good girls. Do better.

There are ways to pirate windows. If you do go with windows, I’d say look up an activation script, get windows 11 pro for free, and use AtlasOS. That’s a user script that strips out all of Microsoft’s bullshit, including copilot and recall.

However, if you don’t want to play any games whose anticheat gets mad at Linux, I’d say kick Microsoft for good. To check compatibility of your games, have a look at ProtonDB. It’ll tell you whether your choice games will run on Linux, and whether any tweaking is required to do so. I’ve been having a lot of fun daily driving EndeavourOS on my gaming PC, but I wouldn’t recommend it for someone’s first Linux distro. It’s arch-based, so it can be challenging. Fedora is a good starter distro, but you’ll want to disable SElinux. Can’t say anything for or against Pop OS, never tried it.
