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.

I'm assuming it works fine, but wondering if anyone here has any experience with it... Obviously, the HDR feature won't work unfortunately...

I've been using an Asus vivobook with an oled screen for the past two months. It works perfectly fine, imo especially on Wayland with the proper scaling setting. The only thing you should be aware of is that some apps still rely exclusively on X, and those will look blurry

Do you know if your OLED screen has a standard pixel layout or if it has one of the modified ones?

For example QD-OLED are structured in a triangle and some of the LG ones have 4 instead of 3 (if I'm recalling it correctly). The result on windows for both of these is a slightly more blurry text.

The blurriness comes from the (fractional) scaling mechanism use for X applications inside Wayland. Some time ago KDE enabled a mode that fixes blurriness (using the "native" X scaling).
