I finally gave up my Nvidia 2070 Super and rejoined Team red with a 9070 XT. And it's like this is the way everything was always meant to be.

HDR works without breaking font rendering. Sleep states just work. No more random border flickering in fullscreen or borderless windows. And the fans never even spin up.

I did have to unwind a couple Nvidia workarounds to swap over successfully (like /etc/environment needed cleaning up for sddm-greeter-qt to not core dump).

No ragrets.

No regerts.

Team red 4lyfe (again).

Damn I’m a tech illiterate person but got a 6600xt with a ryzen 5. Should I also be running Linux? The only thing I know about it is I can’t play some games which kind of makes me hesitant.

Look up the games you have or the games you're worried about on Proton DB:

Then you can see whether you will lose anything with the switch.

Most of the games you lose access are not worth imo. LoL, fortnite, valorant. I do miss Apex

Yes, you should.
