I should've used it sooner rather than last year when they announced AI integration to Windows. Every peripheral I tried is just worked without needing to install drivers, and it works better and faster than on Windows, just like today when I tried to use my brother's 3D printer expecting disappointment, but no, it just connected and was ready to print right away (I use Ultimaker Cura), whereas on my brother's Windows computer I have to wait like 20 seconds; sometimes I have to disconnect and reconnect it again for it to see and ready to use. Lastly, for those who are wondering, I use Vanilla Arch (btw), and sorry for bad English.

Does that driver support SDR to HDR conversation, AI upacaling,

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!

And yes, AMD GPUs can't keep up. Especially if you like Ray Tracing. I'm not an AMD hater; I have a 7700X

Ah that's a shame. Newer AMD cards are surely better than my old 2080 Super though eh. 🙃

No, not DLSS. RTX Video Enhancement. Makes YouTube look so much better.

I think the program nvidia-settings has 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.

RVE is basically AI upscaling with AI SDR to HDR smoothing. So they're right that it's AI upscaling. But isn't DLSS. But only because DLSS has vectoring information from the game engine.

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.
