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?

    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.

    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.
