Always got a notebook handy for my puzzle game needs.

If you enjoy games like Outer Wilds or Return of the Obra Dinn
Definitely right up my alley then.
I have been going back and forth on whether to buy this one. Looks like it is right up my alley but reviews seem to be all over the place.
Since it runs well on Deck I might just give it a try.
Valve told me to kick rocks (the unit is 18 months old/6 months out of warranty).
I assume you are from the US? The EU and some other places have 2 years of warranty.
Most modern OLED panels on TVs and monitors don't actually use classic PWM for dimming, they never turn off completely and instead fluctuate between like 100% and 95% brightness based on the refresh rate.
Did you ever test if you can see that as well at different refresh rates?
rtings always tests this under "Image Flicker". https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/motion/image-flicker
It's not considered flicker-free but the OLED panels listed with 0 Hz PWM frequency (most of them) should look fine.
However, there are two other elements that might cause issues:
- VRR flicker
- ABL dimming in HDR
Both can cause an unpleasant experience if you are sensitive to it.
Phones still commonly use PWM because it uses less energy. There are some that have a DC dimming option but it's rare.
It's amazing. With my black theme, a black background, and the mouse off the monitor, you can't even tell the thing is on.
I have a solid black color as background and a hidden task bar on my OLED monitor.
It's just a mouse cursor floating in nothingness.
Taking a screenshot in Wayland is tricky, even more so in C#. I'm not aware of a up to date library that takes care of these things for you on Linux in C#.
Your best bet for a clean solution is most likely using the org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop portal via d-bus.
There's a d-bus library for C#: https://github.com/tmds/Tmds.DBus
Essentially you want to call org.freedesktop.portal.Screenshot.Screenshot on org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop and then get the file path for the screenshot from the object path that gets returned.
Here's a quick example to take a screenshot from the terminal:
gdbus call --session --dest org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop --object-path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop --method org.freedesktop.portal.Screenshot.Screenshot ":1.0" "{}"
Other solutions that work via Wayland are:
- Getting a screen capture via Pipewire
- Call window manager specific d-bus APIs (e.g.
org.kde.KWin.ScreenShot2)
You need to test with different desktop environments though, the amount of user interaction required to take a screenshot on Wayland varies.
The Redux upgrade is available for $20 or with an active Switch 2 Online Membership*.

Weird.
You can set the paper profile twice, once by hitting Page setup in the Print preview and once after hitting print. Do you get different results when setting the profile to 4x6 and borderless twice? There's also scaling options in the Advanced tab in the printing dialog.
If that doesn't help you could ask the experts at https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/issues .
Make sure to read their reporting guidelines here: https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/blob/master/REPORTING_ISSUES.md
The application you print with should not affect the borderless printing unless the application itself adds a margin around the image. Gwenview has a print preview which shows how it thinks it will look.
Stupid questions first: After selecting a borderless print profile, did you set the margins all the way to 0?
Can you check if the print is cut off by ~3mm or if is just rescaled?
Thanks, that's exactly where I bought it from.
