From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why is the Steam Deck the cover image? It does quite well for those things.

Melissa and Igalia have been working with AMD and Valve in particular a lot on the AMD color management support, enabling HDR use-cases for Valve with the Steam Deck (OLED), and more. There's also ongoing work within the GNOME camp around VRR, enabling HDR on the desktop, etc.

The pic of the Decks appear below that.

Not for me

I'm sceptical that Phoronix is sending you a different version of their article than what everybody else is seeing.

Err.. no it doesn’t. There are so many bug reports of neither HDR nor VRR working properly with the steam deck. My deck won’t even dock properly with my TV after recent updates.

It’s better than most other linuxes in the sense that it works sometimes I guess.

Are you using the official dock? If so, you might have to RMA it.

The first firmware update on my OLED deck messed it up and it stopped outputting anything. The one I got now outputs HDR and VRR with no issues.

Thanks for the tip. I might have to try that. It was working mostly fine one day (no VRR) and then it was completely broken the next. :(
