Hi all!
I noticed half a year ago that I have eye strain and headaches from Linux, no matter which distro and desktop manager I used.
The distro I started to notice it it’s pop os. I had this os and in the beginning I didn’t had any problem with it. It started half year ago. BTW, I’m using kde plasma as desktop manager
So I had an idea, why not to install the pop os distro from the same usb I installed the fresh one half year ago and then check what can be the differences.
So I did it. Now I have a the pop os before the eye strain problem and the pop is after the eye strain problem.
My PC have nvidia rtx 3060, i9 without hdmi.
Excluding the nvidia dithering which I disabled from the nvidia server(which helped),
First thing I noticed between the distros is the nvidia driver which was newer in the eye strain os. So I downgraded the nvidia driver to the same version of the regular os without eye strain and still I had eye strain.
The second thing I noticed is the kernel version. The old one is 6.2.6 and the new one is 6.8. But I assume the kernel version isn’t related to how the screen show the elements, it’s related to deep stuff of Linux.
The two differences I wrote is the only one I saw between the two. I tried to change display settings, font settings, and some stuff related but didn’t helped to the eye strain.
So now I’m consult with you guys, what can be the thing which can cause the eye strain in your opinion? Now that I have this two os, I can test it and see if it’s really help or not.
