On Bazzite 42 Gnome the VRR experimental feature is disabled by default
After updating from Bazzite 41 to the new 42 version (main, not testing), I noticed my display does not have VRR anymore, not even the option to enable it.
Following that, I rebooted into the previous image, which is Bazzite 41, and the VRR is available and activated for my display as expected.
On Archwiki I read about the experimental setting, so I suspected the experimental feature to be turned off in the new 42 update.
After running the following command, and re-login to activate it, VRR was present again as an option. More so, it was automatically enabled again for my display as it was on Bazzite 41.

Same problem, but the command didn't help
Did you logout and login? Otherwise it indeed will not yet change anything.
logout and later restart the pc, reapplied the command with sudo, looked for other commands. For now just gave up make it work
Just making sure, but indeed you have covered that and more.
Hope it can be fixed for you in some way or another.
Are you on a handheld or a pc?
