I'm in the middle of a mass migration to Linux, and my gaming PC is the last holdout. I do most of my gaming on a TV with a controller, so I love the idea of a console-like OS like Bazzite, which is perfect for my use case.
That said, I have an AMD 7800 XT video card that I'd love to use to its full potential: 4k@120Hz, HDR, and VRR. All of this works fine with Windows over HDMI, but with the HDMI forum rejecting AMD's HDMI 2.1 drivers, this isn't possible on Linux.
I've tried every DisplayPort to HDMI cable under the sun, including the Cable Matters cable some claim works (it doesn't). The closest I get so far is 4k@120Hz with HDR using this cable, but still no VRR.
Am I just SOL right now? Is there any stone I've left unturned? Is there any hope that things could change in the future? I'd love to hear any insights that anyone may have!
