Custom EDID?
Kinda random, and kinda an edge case tbh. But in regards to dp to HDMI adapters I know some people have some success getting VRR to work on other distros with some of these adapters after editing EDID with CRU. Looks like you can do so, and save the EDID bin to use/lib/firmware/edid but how can I accomplish this without access to the file system?

Hello, I wasn't trying to solve your issue, but a separate issue regarding edid between my 4070 ti super and my shitty 4k tv. I stumbled upon this guide for getting edid bin files in the correct location by creating your own rpm https://jordemort.dev/blog/hdmi-edid-silverblue-and-you/ long story short, the guide worked but my tv continues to suck.
I can't deal with the jittery frames in some games. Capping at 90 in games that do this seems to help some, but I can still see something is wrong. I may have to go back to windows as much as I love bazzite.
That would suck. What exactly is the problem? Just that your graphics card isn't detecting your monitor correctly?
I have vrr working on my NVIDIA laptop, but I have that switched off because I experienced the jitter (especially in aseprite).
My eddid issue is completely different to yours, btw. I just want to make that clear.
My case is really edge. I have to use a dp to HDMI adapter because of the HDMI and AMD issue. It's because I'm doing htpc setup and have 7900xtx. HDMI VRR will work but only up to 60hz. If I want more frames than 60 i have to use DP, but my TV doesn't have a DP on it. So I'm using the cal digit DP 2.0 to HDMI 2.1 adapter. But it probably doesn't matter what I do I won't get VRR with this setup until someone figures this out with the open source AMD drivers. Should work with AMDs proprietary drivers, but they are not as good as the community maintained ones.
Even if there are launch options to mitigate or edits I can make to engine.ini files (it's mostly UE5 games) id be ok with doing and that. The 90 fps cap does help, but I don't like leaving performance in the table.
