    Steam deck has HDR support now, which means HDR support for AMD gpus on linux will improve at accelerated rate going forward. Nvidia users (me included) can can only look with envy I guess.

    Is HDR generally unavailable on Linux right now? I primarily game on a Windows desktop but I'm considering trying to make my next build in a few years the equivalent of a "Steam Deck Console" but I've been trying to anticipate issues that might make it too limited or frustrating to use.

    If you have an AMD GPU, the upcoming KDE Plasma 6 will have experimental HDR support. Or you can use gamescope (a compositor made by valve for steam deck) as your login session which will launch steam in big picture mode (afaik you can't run other apps except steam in this desktop session).

    I was able to grab a limited edition one almost 2 hours after release time. Was clicking through carts dozens of times and purchase pages about 5 times, what a mess.

    I'm dying over this. I preloaded my steam wallet, left a meeting early, and started spamming the buy button the second it released. Couldn't get the purchase to go through for 30 minutes so I'm panicking the whole time. Turns out 5 hours later it's still in stock rofl.

    From what I could observe of the launch, it looks like they decided to not put all the stock up to grab right away, and added it little by little to spread out the load and give people more time to get a chance to get the limited edition. It actually got "out of stock" multiple times already.

    This is Steam Deck 1.5. They've said Steam Deck 2 won't be for another couple years.

    Let me get this straight. Valve decides to break into a market with a niche product few people have purchased from other vendors in the past (GPD, Aya, etc), says "we want this to be affordable and just work", releases a 1.0 to test the waters, and you think their initial device should have had OLED?

    I can see why you don't run any companies.

    I‘ve noticed this a few times already, they probably responded to a now deleted comment and Lemmy (or maybe just Memmy, the app I‘m using) pushes the replies to said comment up a level, making everyone‘s response look weird as the result

    That‘s my guess at least

    It was led, imo more than good enough for my use, and I don't have to worry about burn in.

    Do you worry about burn in on your phone? Your phone probably has way more static elements that are constantly on than the Steam Deck will.

    I used my last phone for 4 years and thousands of hours and could only barely tell there was some burn in if I used a white image at max brightness and looked at the status bar. Burn in isn't really a problem with modern OLEDs.

    I still don't get the fuss about OLED. As someone who prefers relatively low brightness and contrast settings on most displays that are not used in the summer sun, I've never felt like decent non-OLED panels were lacking for me.
