Among all the patches we've shipped, my favorite is that HDR is now provided by the upstream AMD params and not based on Valve's patch set. Currently I'm working on making an EDID for the #SteamDeck OLED so HDR works under #KDE 6 as well.
As part of this update we've also reduced overall technical debt and cleaned up our various spec files.
Most of the work this cycle was spent making upgrades easier and not doing the upgrade. This also means Fedora 41 will be that much easier for us to move to when the time comes!
We found and fixed some long standing bugs in this process as well, such as:
1: Rotation issues on #KDE
2: Audio issues on some #HTPC s
3: Image channel switching in #Steam gaming mode
Lastly, we have some very cool hardware compatibility changes coming. The #SteamDeck OLED is getting it's last remaining bugs resolved in time for a 3.1 release, and a new family of Laptops is joining the officially supported list! Keep a look out for 3.0.1 and 3.1.0
And as always, we need more testers! If you want to help us out, rebase to our :testing branch and open issues on our GitHub!
