    The SteamDeck OLED has HDR support and so does KDE.

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

    KDE has only had HDR support for a month.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    I recently asked questions about HDR & automatic refreshrate switching for a linux HTPC, and the advice in the end was just to find whatever distro already has it all precofigured (and conflcting advice whether i'd need Wayland or X)... i was kind of amazed how poorly supported it appeared to be.

    So yeah, if steam is like "yeah, we won't try to venture into that swamp", can't say i blame them after having dared to ask how to get it to work myself.

    I’m looking into getting a nuc or something for a htpc. Would you say it’s worth it?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

    I've now got a 13th gen nuc as htpc using libreelec. There is an intel graphics driver issue with 4K HDR & 23.97fps playback (frequent audio dropouts...), but someone on the forum created a patch that does seem to work, and really happy with it so far. Also Libreelec allows you to install docker, so i can use the nuc (which is way overpowered for just htpc usage) also as a server :).

    I do hate that the maintainers of libreelec are like 'yeah, it's an intel bug, so we won't put the workaround in our official release, nor do anything to make potential users aware of it while we can detect that they will probably need it"... Open source developers don't really like their users it seems....

    Can you link the fix for me? I’m looking to replace my shield but looking for something that does hdr/dv and can do audio pass through. While a nuc is over powered that doesn’t bother me. I’m more concerned about having a dedicated device that does one thing well (hopefully after set up it’s hand off).

    That’s. I’ll take a look at this…never heard of it before. Looks like the Linux Plex htpc app has some of its own issues as well. Trying to find something that works well.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    the basic goal of libreelec is to just run kodi and nothing else. So it's really good for a htpc, it's always running kodi :).

    But since you can add docker to it, i'm also running it as a small server, using portainer to manage the containers, and it's doing great double duty :). If however you want a real desktop environment, this is not the solution for you :).

    [–] Enragedzeus 1 points 8 months ago

    Yea, after reading about it you’re correct. The search continues

    The OLED panel supports it. It's very much not usable on the Deck right now, though.
