I really do apologize for creating a new thread for now,but I need one more question for today. How can I check if dithering is enabled on my GPU and how do I disable it? My GPU is Sapphire RX 5500 XT Pulse.Thank you in advance.

I am so sorry for creating two threads per one day 🙏🏻

But I am a newbie to Linux,and I thought I could ask everything I don't know here.

Annoyingly, neither Intel nor AMD ever made a driver control panel for Linux, and the nvidia one is hilariously outdated. So no, I have no idea how you would check individual settings like that.

isn't dithering a thing to smooth fonts?

#

if so, that shouldn't be off, I think

settings: Fonts: anti-aliasing: slight (default)

Dithering is an ancient setting related to texture rendering. I am not quite sure how it relates to font rendering, but these days, it is hardly ever seen in games options. I presume it does not have much meaning any more, is on by default, or rolled into some other setting.
Either way, we still need proper driver control panels from AMD and Intel, and a modern one from nvidia.

I recall now, it is mostly for making colours more plausible on lower bit depths, i.e. in 16bit or even 8bit mode. Since pretty much everything is 32bit or HDR now, it should not matter much any longer. But we still need those driver panels.

Dither

Dither is an intentionally applied form of noise used to randomize quantization error, preventing large-scale patterns such as color banding in images. Dither is routinely used in processing of both digital audio and video data, and is often one of the last stages of mastering audio to a CD.
A common use of dither is converting a grayscale image...
