That brings me to my question, is there a future where this isn’t the case? And what would be required to get there?
Some kind of service where vendors can shove their propietary hacks of drivers in your face (as DKMS), like on Windows.
But nobody wants that.
I understand people who game on windows and need 240hz
I don’t. Isn’t this just a numbers game? Above 100hz should be unnoticable even for sensitive people.
Because the “kde” package is a meta-package that has all the utilities of a KDE-install too, while the “plasma” package has only the desktop.
For boot and power down, create a service to log it.
For the others, an elogind script might be what you look for.
