Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.

For me, it's Shared GPU memory.

HDR support and good VR support.
I suppose another way to say that while also outing myself as a real corporate shill is “better Nvidia support”
- HDR support is there in KDE Plasma 6, works flawlessly for me
  
  Functionality is a program by program thing, at least Wayland.
  
  I installed Bazzite Nvidia edition and HDR worked fine (after manually configuring gamescope) and then one day the HDR options for my monitor in the display settings panel disappeared and gamescope’s HDR stuff stopped working and I still can’t figure out why.
  
  Damn, ok that's really weird. Have you tried asking in the Universal Blue/Bazzite forum? https://universal-blue.discourse.group/
  
  Not on my AMD card. Using Bazzite (based on Fedora Kionite) btw.
  It's supposed to have it. I can't get any game to do it, though; the option's always disabled.
- Valve Index works fine under Linux.
  
  I gave it a shot and it was stuttering really bad multiple times per second. I’m sure if I worked on it more it would work better but I haven’t looked into it too much yet. That’s why I said “good support” since whatever it is right now is not as good as it could be
- Hdr works on:
  Kde.
  Gamescope (can maybe be used for hdr if you don't wanna use KDE)
  Hdr is currently being worked on for gnome.
