That's good to hear about the 3d printer as I have yet to connect mine to try the same thing. I just have to learn freecad though, as i used to use fusion 360 which is not packaged for Linux.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been using it on and off since 1994. I still have a slackware dist on CD with the 1.1 kernel. I think Linux is great although I still prefer to use Windows, and Linux via WSL which is my optimal set up these days.
Lucky. I couldn't get HDR working properly, and most of my GPU features were missing because Nvidia refuses to support Linux (and AMD GPUs can't keep up). So I had to go back to Windows.
Been trying to switch to Linux since 2004. I'll try again in 5 years.
Nvidia has an open driver now I believe? I install nvidia-open.
Curious to know what you mean by:
AMD GPUs can't keep up
And,
I had to go back to Windows
you had to, because of HDR? I have an Nvidia RTX 2080 Super, and I don't know of any features that are missing. Games can do DLSS and ray tracing and whatever else they need. For me, support seems to be absolutely beast on Linux. 🤷♂️
Does that driver support SDR to HDR conversation, AI upacaling, and most importantly: the 3D Settings page? I can live without the first two features, but I can't believe that there is no 3D Settings page in Linux. It has so many graphics settings that aren't available in most games.
And yes, AMD GPUs can't keep up. Especially if you like Ray Tracing. I'm not an AMD hater; I have a 7700X

Assuming you mean conversion and upscaling. DLSS is AI upscaling, right? I don't think X11 has much support for HDR. But I'm not well versed in display servers at all to make that claim firmly.
and most importantly: the 3D Settings page? I can live without the first two features, but I can't believe that there is no 3D Settings page in Linux. It has so many graphics settings that aren't available in most games.
Ah, you mean that custom program where you set a bunch of settings externally and specifically for each game? I think the program nvidia-settings has that? Try it out!

Ah that's a shame. Newer AMD cards are surely better than my old 2080 Super though eh. 🙃
DLSS is AI upscaling, right?
No, not DLSS. RTX Video Enhancement. Makes YouTube look so much better.
I think the program
nvidia-settingshas that? Try it out!
It does not. I'm talking about this page. Almost every game in existence is missing several settings that are on this page, especially GPU Power Management Mode, Negative LOD Bias, Max Framerate in the Background, and Max VR Prerendered Frames.
