  • I recently upgraded to a 4k monitor with HDR and shortly after that GNOME 48 came out with HDR and VRR support, so KDE Plasma and GNOME are the two desktops I know of that support HDR. I use GNOME and it works really well even though I do need to use gamescope if I want to play a Windows game with HDR and Firefox doesn’t (yet?) support it on Linux. It definitely looks really cool but it’s not a huge loss if you stick with Mint and just use SDR. It seems like you wanna get the monitor either way, so I’m pretty sure you can just use a live USB of something like Fedora to try HDR out without having to actually install anything. I’m just not sure what software you could try it out in because (at least to my knowledge) no browser supports HDR on Linux yet and you can’t just install a whole game on a USB stick.





  • I just don’t think it looks very good. I know that everyone has different tastes of what looks good but I personally love modern design when it comes to UI and IMO Android was the best looking OS UI and right after that GNOME. But part of why I think both of them look so good and why I think they even look better than Apples design, is that they don’t use blur. I don’t think it really fits into the Material 3 design language.

    I’ve used Linux for years and I also have a ~/Applications folder where I put AppImages, applications cloned with git and stuff like that in. E.g. I have the last Yuzu AppImage in there, since it got taken down, but I also made a .desktop file for it, so I can launch it through the application menu. Btw, you should be able to just double click AppImages in your file explorer to open them.
