- Nvidia drivers have no per-app settings (I use that) and few settings in general
- It’s unclear if gsync works
- Window movement and scrolling is 30fps-ish despite the RR is 144hz; tearing
- I hoped for better ui scaling, turned out it only has 1x and 2x(4x) as “clean” options. On a 1440p display everything looked either too small or too big
- Couldn’t set up the mouse pointer to just do what my mouse says (it has metal pads and “precision” rug, all movement is linear) (custom drivers windows-only)
- Sleep function couldn’t deep sleep, only blanked display
- No chance to get random hw like usb wifi to work
- No proprietary OC/monitor/fan control tools
Ymmw, but when it does not, it’s a rabbithole not worth falling into.
Sad thing is, I’m far from being a newbie. I was an administrator for a whole small office of bsd/linux boxes for few years. You can imagine the volume and the depth of that job. There’s no “can’t do” option. I can solve or at least dig deep into these issues, but after getting this experience and year after year failed attempts to get it right I had to say “no more”. If it doesn’t work as is, for me it doesn’t work at all.
But you’ll probably be fine if your hardware, software and use cases are as standard as can be.
