HDR has been working great for me in KDE. I've been using mpv for HDR videos, and games with HDR work great. KDE has an SDR vibrancy setting when HDR is enabled that lets you decide how bright and colorful you want SDR content (turn it up enough and it looks like HDR to me), I'm not sure if that's how auto HDR works.

From what I understand, the updated firmware image has passed all the tests and will be included in an upcoming release. My system has been rock solid for a few weeks now with it running, but if you aren't up to dropping the blob in yourself it sounds like you'll have it officially soon (assuming you run a distro that keeps those up to date).

Input Leap is a Synergy fork with mostly working compatibility for Gnome Wayland, and Waynergy works well as a client on sway (and possibly kde?)

I was seeing those issues on my 7840u, but they were completely resolved with the testing firmware for phoenix here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/8044

In X11 it's server side, and in gnome wayland it's of course client side, but they look exactly the same as the SSD ones. I doubt they'll change that between the current beta and the 3.x release.

That's pretty much where I'm at too, and I find it easier to get to the file(s) I want to send through the cli. No judgement to anyone who prefers the gui though!

As far as I know the relay just NAT busts, after that it's encrypted p2p.

The main advantages for me are:

  1. You don't need to swap ssh keys, which makes it great for setting up new systems I haven't connected to everything else yet (or don't plan to)
  2. It's cross platform
  3. The devices don't need to be on the same network (it NAT busts too)

Termux is awesome! I use it for a bunch of things:

  • sshing into servers and my home when I'm out and about
  • using croc to transfer files
  • making videos I'm going to send people smaller with ffmpeg
  • downloading stuff with yt-dlp
  • giving myself access to the sandbox + /sdcard from other computers by running an ssh server
  • scripting phone stuff (like taking photos) with the api
  • running weechat locally, which I can then connect to with weechat android
  • using vim
  • probably a bunch of other things I'm forgetting

h264 and h265 work- check the va-api table to see what's supported: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration

I take advantage of hardware video encoding on linux with amd's open source drivers almost every day.

So true- I was talking to someone about vim the other day and wanted to tell them the keybinding for something I use daily, but had no idea what it was without a keyboard there for reference.
