The formula they have for performance to cost is a win, but I still can't help but be disappointed in them.

The formula they have for performance to cost is a win, but I still can't help but be disappointed in them. The product I (we) need doesn't exist even though they have the position to product it: a Linux compatible, 4K @ Ultra w/RT 120fps capable card. 5090 doesn't have the compatibility and the 7900 xtx (and now 9070 xt) doesn't have the performance (or premium look, if I may add!). I currently have a 3080ti for perspective.

What's your issue with Linux compatibility and NVIDIA?I have not been as lucky. My story goes, try bazzite, get by, boot up one day to an unrecoverable OS. So I start over and try Ubuntu, get by, boot up one day to an unrecoverable OS. Switch back to bazzite, get by, and boot up one day to an unrecoverable OS. As you can imagine, I am now back on windows for the time being. It's entirely possible I'm misplacing the blame on nvidia, but my extensive troubleshooting at the time would suggest otherwise.

Vast majority of people use low to mid range cards anyway, so why waste millions to just compete with nvidia, while most enthusiast people will buy nv anyway (because dlss, rtx, whatever hurr durr)? It's just waste of money for negligible returns. I don't even know one single person in my social circle that would have 4k/120Hz display anyway. Most (basically everyone) has either 1080p/144 or 4k/60 and that's mid range happy rodeo. I do have 1440p/144 and I feel like weirdo among my friends (why you need this?).

Or you couldnt even log in to the terminal?

It's been long enough I can't recall exactly what the situation was or how I was troubleshooting it. I recall that rolling back bazzite and the nvidia drivers didnt work for me when I attempted it once.Bazzite being atomic and hard to fix is actually what pushed me to try Arch. I'd been a Debian guy for ~15 years, but I just built my first new desktop in just about the same amount of time, and I certainly didn't want it to feel old! So I tried Bazzite, which worked until some update broke some driver, and like you, rolling back didn't work, and I couldn't find anything online that would help me fix it, so I just said "Fuck it" and went straight to Arch. It's been pretty good so far!

I highly doubt they chose to not make high end cards "just because", especially because that's where the profit margins would be the highest I think that you're simply expecting a bit too much, and a little too far ahead in terms of your requirements. 4K RT 120fps is something that's just barely starting to get achievable at the absolute highest end, and even then not without compromises
