I'm newer to Linux gaming, but the consensus I've seen is that AMD is better on Linux. Will these actions change your mind? I already have Nvidia hardware, so an open source kernel module sounds like a win.

I do have issues with VRR on my AMD gpu too though, so that's not strictly exclusive to nvidia.

Is why I can’t use AMD. My primary display is a TV. Yea, there are large monitors with Display Ports, but they didn’t exist until recently and most if not all are inferior to a high quality TV in picture quality.

cant you just use a DP to HDMI adapter to get hdmi out?

Unfortunately not. Seems like an obvious fix, but you lose features, if it even works at all.
