I've been using an Asus vivobook with an oled screen for the past two months. It works perfectly fine, imo especially on Wayland with the proper scaling setting. The only thing you should be aware of is that some apps still rely exclusively on X, and those will look blurry

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.

Do you know if your OLED screen has a standard pixel layout or if it has one of the modified ones?
For example QD-OLED are structured in a triangle and some of the LG ones have 4 instead of 3 (if I'm recalling it correctly). The result on windows for both of these is a slightly more blurry text.
Off topic, but what distro are you using? I have an Asus vivobook as well and neither the speakers, bluetooth, or touchpad gestures worked whenever I installed Zorin or PopOS. I don't have the time or knowledge to mess around with it so I just went back to Windows
My current setup is two alienware AW3423DWF monitors (plus a 3rd acer 1440p monitor to the side)
I've seen no problems with them at all, truly black blacks and color reproduction seems great to my eyes (I'm not a professional though)
HDR also works if I'm using steamdeck session on nobara, though in that case only one monitor is being used.
Here's a pic of the setup for an idea of what it looks like.
I've been using a LG 27GR95QE for a couple of months now and I love it.
One of the issues with OLED monitors is sub-pixel rendering/layouts being different than usual LCD, which you can mostly bypass in Linux (I've been using it for work and am really not bothered after 8hrs/day looking at code).
