Laptop at 165 hz, desktop monitor at 144 and second at 260. All work fine on linux mint x11 with nvidia drivers and kde. No hdr but that's fine.

  The most fun thing about Linux is that everything seems to work fine for some people and be broken for others.

    My experience is if you buy very common hardware, other people have already driven over all landmines.

      I have a fairly typical AMD 3600 cpu and 5700xt with a mid tier common mobo. All stuff that's super consumer and a few years old now. And I still encounter tons of random issues. And updates that break stuff that used to work. Sure, its a lot worse for brand new laptops. But it never entirely works to the level you'd get from macOS.

        Well, macos only has to support a low-digit number of sanctioned configs, so that’s much easier. For whatever it worth, I found linux’s device support the very best — while windows does likely have some random binary for a given device laying around the internet, it is often borderline malware, and may not work too well on a newer windows version (though credit where its due, windows’ backwards compatibility is phenomenal). Linux has a vast amount of supported devices out of the box, no “windows is looking for a solution”.

    That seems to be the case. But on hardware it works it’s awesome.
