I have an Alienware AW3423DWF since about a year now with about 4000 hours on it. Very happy with it, won't be going back to anything else until another technology with per-pixel lighting comes along. I also have a Dell with VA panel as second monitor and it looks like 90s technology compared to the OLED panel.
The only bad thing I can say about the monitor or OLED in general is that the dimming is fairly aggressive, i.e. on bright scenes you will not even get close to the advertised brightness. Makes the OLED monitors pretty much unusable in HDR for desktop usage. Mostly unnoticable in gaming and movies.
There also is some text fuzzing with high contrast text, not distracting for me but might be for others.
but how is the current compatability with Linux these days?
No issues here on Linux. With Plasma 6 you can even do HDR properly. Many games work with the latest Proton-TKG on Wayland and the HDR layer, some still need gamescope to properly work. mpv does movies/shows in HDR with the HDR layer, no issues.
Always check out rtings.com for their monitor ratings, they do the most thorough tests of all:
Many cryptographers are suspicious of the NIST and their selection process, e.g. Daniel Bernstein (the guy who made ED25519) is currently suing the NIST for various infringements ( https://blog.cr.yp.to/20220805-nsa.html )
Use anything NIST related with care. Use ED25519 or if not available, RSA with large key sizes (4096+).
Meanwhile, AAA studios can spend thousands of dollars on marketing.
I don't really get the notion of listening to some marketing department lying through their teeth. It's not like AAA games ever deliver on their marketing promises.
Unless an indie game goes viral, there’s very little chance that I’ll ever hear about it in order to consider buying it.
You don't have to go dumpster diving in order to find awesome games, somebody already did. A good starting point is the top rated games list for Steam: https://steamdb.info/stats/gameratings/
90% of them are indies and there is something for everyone on those 3 pages.
You can also use steamcmd or DepotDownloader. It's not DRM just because no website download is available, once they are downloaded they are yours to keep.
It's twice as funny in this game because they added Denuvo a year after release. Meaning all pirates got the game DRM free on day one while paying customers got Denuvo patched in.
banking app already don’t let you root or otherwise flash your device so I have given up hope in trying with them
You can get around that pretty easily by fooling SafetyNet / Play Integrity and hiding root from those apps. My phones have all been rooted for years and I never had issues with banking apps. I don't even run any google services anymore and the apps I use are fine with that.
I tried Jellycon briefly when I started but it's unfortunate that it doesn't integrate into the Kodi UI properly, so there's no way to really use the Kodi interface nicely without casting from the Jellyfin app. It more or less just becomes a playback client for the Jellyfin app. If the Jellyfin app wouldn't be such a disaster when casting I probably would be fine with that.
Might try it again in the future but the Jellyfin app experience is nothing like what Kore or Yatse can do directly with Kodi.

Most of the time, yes. I try first with Wine's wayland driver and if that doesn't work I switch to gamescope.
