Experiences Regarding Gaming on OLED screens? (slrpnk.net)

Wondering if my next upgrade should be an OLED screen or not. It looks amazing, but how is the current compatability with Linux these days? Anyone with one of these sexy screens that would like to share their experiences?

What screen do you have?
TV or Monitor Screen?
Do you have multiple screens?
What brand / model is recommended?

Lemmy know! 🌻

Are you using native Wine Wayland for HDR? I'd been using Gamescope but I've been having some issues with it recently.

Edit: Turns out the issue was using -F fsr, for some reason that messed stuff up I think

Most of the time, yes. I try first with Wine's wayland driver and if that doesn't work I switch to gamescope.

How do you run games using Wine Wayland? I tried using the registry edit with Proton-TKG as well as system wine but I haven't gotten it working yet.

Make sure you have the Vulkan layers installed: https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer
Download the latest Proton-TKG (Wine master) from ProtonUp-QT
Start the game you want to launch with it at least once
Search for it with protontricks and take note of the APPID: protontricks -s NAME
Set the registry entry: protontricks -c 'wine reg.exe add HKCU\\Software\\Wine\\Drivers /v Graphics /d x11,wayland' APPID
Set the launch arguments in Steam to: ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 DISPLAY= %command%
Switch the Proton version to the Proton-TKG you just downloaded
Enable HDR in KDE settings and launch the game

Some games crash on start, anti-cheat does not work and some games don't look right. So make sure to check that everything looks good once you're ingame.

Thanks! I managed to get it working in some games and it seems to output HDR. Sadly it doesn't seem to support fractional scaling (at least with two monitors), and since I use 175% scale that messes it up. Gamescope seems to work pretty well though, both for HDR and for fractional scaling.
