    I recently asked questions about HDR & automatic refreshrate switching for a linux HTPC, and the advice in the end was just to find whatever distro already has it all precofigured (and conflcting advice whether i’d need Wayland or X)… i was kind of amazed how poorly supported it appeared to be.

    So yeah, if steam is like “yeah, we won’t try to venture into that swamp”, can’t say i blame them after having dared to ask how to get it to work myself.

        I’ve now got a 13th gen nuc as htpc using libreelec. There is an intel graphics driver issue with 4K HDR & 23.97fps playback (frequent audio dropouts…), but someone on the forum created a patch that does seem to work, and really happy with it so far. Also Libreelec allows you to install docker, so i can use the nuc (which is way overpowered for just htpc usage) also as a server :).

        I do hate that the maintainers of libreelec are like 'yeah, it’s an intel bug, so we won’t put the workaround in our official release, nor do anything to make potential users aware of it while we can detect that they will probably need it"… Open source developers don’t really like their users it seems…
