From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is HDR useless on OLED?
HDR shines the most on OLED. Pun not intended. 😅
So HDR make picture brighter? I thought it make color more vibrant that's why I thought it's useless on OLED XD
No, HDR can’t make your monitor brighter than it is. But it can take full advantage of the brightness and contrast of modern displays in a way SDR cannot. In almost every case HDR looks better than SDR but brighter and/or more contrasty displays take the most advantage.
In a more technical sense, SDR content is mastered with a peak brightness of 100 nits in mind. HDR is mastered for a peak brightness of 1000 nits, sometimes 2000 nits and the resulting improved contrast.
If you don’t watch movies in HDR on a modern TV, you’re not taking full advantage of its capabilities.
It's brightest on qled 😂
OLED is practically contingent on HDR colour space for optimal experience. You wouldn't want to limit yourself to SDR on that type of display.
No? It's better. HDR just means that there are more color values for each channel. On something like an OLED, that's more important since the range between white and black is larger in terms of brightness, so to get good color resolution you need more color data.
