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.

Question about VRR (piefed.social)

I have an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7GHz processor and AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT setup hooked up to a Samsung S90D as a monitor. Running Fedora KDE Plasma.

I can enable 120hz and HDR from my settings but see no way to set VRR anywhere. It works with the Playstation so I know the tv is capable. I asked AI a couple times just to get a rough idea of things I could try and tried the command

kwriteconfig5 --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key "VRR" "true"

but didn't recieve a response so idk if this worked or not. Is this going to require installing AMD proprietary drivers? I briefly read a little about that and it looks like the process is quite a bit above my current skill level.

I saw a dev post about disabling Multi Stream Transport on the monitor but I could not find this setting on my tv anywhere so I think this may be a monitor only setting.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated thank you so much in advance!

I've looked around but just haven't found many viable options for some I know that Alienware made one awhile back but no longer do it looks like the poster that replied to you on this comment though found a pretty sweet deal which is awesome. Just smaller than what I would be wanting.

I want one that's like 55"- 65" 120hz and has a display port and I haven't been able to find a single one they're all TVs full of spyware and no displayport options. (I have my current tv blocked on the router level from the internet)

I'd even just settle for a smart tv as long as it just had a display port. I might just have to switch to a monitor soon to get the most of my system. I would no joke be willing to save up and pay around 3K for a 55" to 65" monitor with 120hz and a displayport with no internet access. But they just don't seem to exist from what I've seen.

nvidia have been promoting 'big format gaming displays' since I want to say about 2019. Some of them reach the dimensions you specify, I just hope these are VESA adaptive sync/FreeSync capable and not all GSync Ultimate module displays (they can be made to work in VESA mode but not without issues in my experience).

I think I've seen one or two obscure TV models offering DisplayPort over USB type C, it may have been from Hisense
