Ok, seriously, just use Linux. I know how it sounds, but I'd say a majority of people use a computer to use a web browser. Guess what? We browsers have always worked and been native with Linux.
Problem is, it's not a passion for most people and they just want to buy something and get on the internet. While they exist, you can't exactly go to Best buy and buy a new computer running Linux.
But really, if you have hardware that works well with it, it's a dream.
I will when either Nvidia supports it fully, or AMD releases a GPU that can keep up in the ray tracing department.
Also, HDR support in Linux needs to get a lot better. Like an order of magnitude better. Then and only then will I switch.
A friend of mine just installed CachyOS Desktop Edition (plasma) and I brought up the HDR calibration in windows, thinking that was something linux still didn't have. Turns out at least some DEs (i think thats a DE thing?) do have decent HDR support now. I still want RTX features tho.
