    I love that they’re driving HDR. ChimeraOS has already pulled it in, the first desktop distro to support it. I think I may finally be ready to drop my last windows box with this

      Agreed. Windows 10 getting end of supported in 2025, and HDR and gaming on Linux finally a thing, I’ll no longer be dual booting.

      Probably a stupid question… Is HDR only when hooked up to a monitor? The Steam Deck screen isn’t HDR capable right?

    Love that they fixed the broken colors in desktop mode. It’s annoying when setting up emulators.

    But i still have the charging light issue that should have been fixed in firmware 116 :(
