  • I can’t comment on Linux, but other than poor support for HDR I don’t see what would be different on Linux at this point.

    • Samsung Odyssey G8 OLED. 34" ultra wide
    • Monitor
    • Yes, this monitor plus my living room TV plus VR headset. Things were unreliable and buggy until I sent it into Samsung for repair and it works well now. The software on the monitor (lol) is silly though. Don’t use it, don’t agree to their EULA.

    My issue with Samsung is they required me to ship the monitor to them for repair instead of sending someone to my home. It’s thin ultra wide and curved and I was scared it would get damaged in shipping. They would have done it in home for a TV, but refused to do the same for this very large monitor 😓

    Even SDR games look great on it. Deep dark blacks, rich colors, and incredible pixel response times make games more enjoyable for me. And for 21:9 ratio movies and tv shows omg.










  • These mantis shrimp has these two “clubs” for front arms. They use them to stun or bludgeon their pretty. They can move them so fast that they can create pockets of vacuum in the water that then rapidly collapse. I think it’s called cavitation. The collapsing bubble can even generate light.

    Don’t make a mantis shrimp in an aquarium angry, those appendages are strong enough to break glass.
