Linux isn't ready.
While many things will work 'out of the box', many won't. Hell, for like 3 months HDR was causing system-wide crashes on Plasma for Nvidia cards, so the devs just disabled the HDR options until there was an upstream fix.
There are still a host of resume-from-sleep issues, Wayland support is still spotty, and most importantly - not every piece of software will run.
Linux is my daily driver, I have learned to live and love the jank. My wife uses windows and does not want to be confronted with a debugging challenge 5% of the time when she turns on her computer, and I think that is fair.
These kinds of posts paper over lots of real issues and can be counterproductive. If someone jumps into the ecosystem without understanding, these kinds of posts only set them up for frustration and disappointment.
FTFY
Nvidia has 90% of the discrete GPU market.
Kind of important that things work there.
Windows has 90% of the OS market. I guess, Linux can just pack its things then. Windows forever. π
Tell Nvidia. Their crap driver is proprietary. Nothing anyone but Nvidia can do.
Plasma has that. If you use a convenience distribution, the underlying drivers should be available out of the box.
If not, file a bug report with the distribution. Things like these can be expected to ship pre installed.
If you chose a "fiddle yourself" distribution like Arch, blame nobody but yourself.
80% toggle is available in Cosmic DE and they are almost to Beta
