Quoting: Purple Library Guy"Tinkerers" are a niche in OSs, that's why Mac and Windows are dominant. Linux will only be popular if everything works out of the box without tinkering, and people that want that will have it in niche external and small distros.Quoting: rustybroomhandleThese "issues that plague SteamOS" are not issues at all, they're such by design to provide a stable OS for use on appliance-like hardware.Well, I suppose if you want to both own a Steam Deck and be a tinkerer, they become issues. One use-case's feature is another use-case's bug.

In short, a monitor/TV has to be OLED or mini LED with lots of dimming zones (1000+) to have a true HDR, otherwise it'll be as reviewers calls it, "fake HDR". Good HDR usually also have a branding has HDR 1000 or HDR 400 True Black (for OLEDs, not to mistake it as HDR 400, which is trash).

Quoting: PhlebiacIf the monitor/TV has good HDR support, it is miles ahead SDR. It shows how a game and media was meant to be played/watched if it is new and made for HDR, for example Alan Wake 2.Quoting: sonic2kkIn short, it tells games that you can enable HDR (as many games will grey out the option by default)For those who have used it: would you say it dramatically improves the visuals in your game(s)? After playing with it on, would you be disappointed to play with it off? Just wondering if I should prioritize it as a feature next time I buy a monitor.

It seems that the market is worries of the UE5 near-monopoly. This is good.

If Linux had 100% Nvidia support (Steam most used brand worldwide) and SteamOS 3 launches for PC and with tons of marketing, that number would increase a lot.

I tried Wayland (with a Nvidia card) and there was all sort of glitches and artifacts, missing in Xorg. Also, the Steam client doesn't scale up like with Xorg. I searched about it and it seems that this bug occurs since January 2023...
