If only Linux wouldn't Bork my whole install when I try to switch to 144hz on my monitor.
Borking an entire install by pressing buttons on a monotor is pretty difficult. What exactly were you doing? Did you ask your OS' community for support?
All I did was on first install go to display settings and change to 144hz in the OS and screen then goes black and never came back. Force a shutdown and boots back to a black screen after login.
I was eventually able to change things back to 60hz and working through booting to cli but 144 never wanted to work (am admittedly using Nvidia card).
So not completely borked but not ideal at all.
Ah yeah nvidia can be painful, especially if you want wayland. But this seems to be a simple modesetting issue, I'm sure there are some known workarounds. You can also report driver bugs directly to nvidia, but I don't know if that will do much.
