Considering buying the Dell Alienware AW2725DF Monitor, but am a little unsure how well it perform on a Linux(Bazzite) system. Are there any issues with this at all these days?

    I’ve been using my MiniLED monitor (Acer XV275K P3) in HDR mode with Plasma 6 on NixOS with an AMD RX 7600. It works well, HDR content is displayed nicely and SDR content is tonemapped pretty well imo.

    It can be a little weird setting up the vk_hdr_layer for mpv, and running games inside Gamescope, but once it works then it looks as good as on Windows I believe.

    For bazzite, HDR should work ootb in game mode, but not in desktop mode.

    Though as an OLED monitor, it should still be quite a good display on desktop mode even without HDR.

      Hmm thats actually really good to know, as I do use desktop mode for my PC. Will need to do some research around this for sure!
