I’ve been rocking the original Acer X34 since 2014 and feel like upgrading again. Specifically the AW3423DWF tickles my fancy, but I’m struggling to decide whether or not it is worth it on Mint without HDR support.

I’ve only been running Linux for about a year and have gotten quite comfortable with Mint, but see that I’d need to change distro if I want to use the Plasma DE, which is the only (?) one with decent HDR support at the moment?

Do any of you run HDR capable monitors in Linux?
If yes: is it worth the purchase even if I stick to SDR mode or would you recommend re-rolling distro to get support today?
If I change it up, I’m looking at Fedora.

Thanks in advance!

    I have been dreaming of dabling with Arch, but I just don’t feel ready for it, if that makes sense?
    With kids, work and life getting in the way, I just don’t have the hours to tinker with stuff like I used to.

    Maybe in a few years when they are older.

    I have set up a few headless homeservers with Debian. Hopefully that experience will help then

      there’s plenty of up to date, feature rich distros on the scale between mint and arch. Fedora or ublue/bazzite are also good options for example
