I personally do like all the eye candy, especially animations and round borders, but sometimes i do enjoy using compositors without any of that just as a change of pace. I also really like river for example.

What in tarnation

From my understanding atleast 1440p or up is the ideal resolution for these technologies to upscale to 4k, but honestly i personally have no idea how it actually looks. I only ever tried fsr on my old vega card once with cyberpunk, but that was 1080p upscaled to 1440p and it looked pretty bad, really had that smeary vaseline look, but like i said, that was a lower resolution and also fsr 1. I think the only way to find out is to see for yourself if you are okay with how it looks. I don't know if you have the room for it, but maybe you could keep the old 1440p monitor around just for gaming if you end up disliking fsr?

I like to imagine void linux is kinda like that one emo kid. No specific reason really, i guess void just sounds more edgy compared to other distro names.

I mean, it's free with prime 🤷‍♂️. That does mean i have a prime subscription though, you got me there.

Not trying to argue with you or anything but i never really understood that sentiment. Don't you have the same amount of vertical space on an ultrawide?

I have both lol, dual ultrawide setup. My main monitor is a 1440p 165hz ultrawide, and i have a 1080p 75hz ultrawide mounted above it that used to be my main monitor before i upgraded. A decent amount of games support ultrawide from my experience, but for some reason mostly japanese games often times don't support it. Usually you can find guides to edit the exe to enable ultrawide support, but i haven't had much luck with that myself. I don't have an oled display or use hdr though, but from my understanding you might be able to make it work in games by using gamescope. For other types of content hdr isn't really there yet, but the good news is that the required wayland protocol recently got merged, so it should be a matter of time before it will eventually be working. I usually always have atleast 2 windows open on my desktop next to each other, and ultrawide is really great for that because it gives each window more width to work with, so you have lots of space.

I don't know how to feel about it tbh. My steam deck and vita have oled displays, the tv downstairs has hdr, but it never made as much of a difference imo. Like when i'm sitting at my va monitor i don't feel like i'm missing anything. Maybe it's just a personal thing in terms of what you're most sensitive to. I feel like i'm most sensitive towards refreshrate. I also don't bother with ray tracing cause even in the best examples like cyberpunk, people usually have to point out the difference to me because i barely notice it.

That's probably just going to be regular ubuntu at some point lol

Flatpak is gonna need some more work for me to accept it as the only way to install software if that were to happen though. The only reason i use them right now is because together with appimages they are the least sucky to use, and it beats manually compiling the software.

Huh, i thought that was something wayland was actually good at lol. Haven't experienced any issues myself.

Yeah vrr causing flickering on the desktop is a common issue. I'm only using window managers so i just toggle it on or off with a keybind. On kde or hyprland you could try setting it to only turn on for fullscreen applications.
