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.

Along with VRR over HDMI not being well supported, sometimes the monitors own EDID is a little buggy and Linux can't guarantee VRR will work properly.
I wrote a blog post a while ago on fixing EDIDs, but it was pretty much a guessing game on what to change: https://stevetech.me/posts/force-enable-vrr-edid
I've had to do that with both Samsung and MSI monitors so far. If you'd like to post your EDID, I could check it myself with what I know.
