Those seem like niche things to hold on to. A 5090 should work just fine under Linux, what feature do you use that isn’t supported? Also a 9070 XT is capable of doing ray tracing. You don’t always have to have the absolute most powerful card.
I don’t have an HDR monitor so can’t say how well it works in Linux, but you can survive without HDR. Is a better lighting contrast that big of a deal?
With an Nvidia GPU on Linux, you don’t get the Nvidia App or even the Nvidia Control Panel. That means no 3D Settings page, no RTX HDR, no Shadowplay, no game filters, no video upscaling in Firefox… All features that I paid money to have and use daily. None of it exists in Linux beyond wonky half-solutions.
The AMD adrenaline software for adjusting settings and power profiles for AMD GPUs also does not work on Linux btw so it’s not like it’s only Nvidia that’s the problem.

Maybe bring that up at Nvidia. The Linux Community is not obligated to deliver you your needed functions for free :)
Other solution: don’t pay for it. Don’t buy Nvidia because they don’t support Linux.
