I got Far Cry 5 for like $7.50 on sale and have been playing it with a friend, and it's actually been pretty fun, mostly driving around blowing stuff up with a rocket launcher.
I also got Doom Eternal, which has been more interesting than I expected; I thought it would be mostly just hold-left-click kind of gameplay, but you actually really need to think about managing ammo and positioning and cooldowns and tons of stuff like that. I feel really bad at it but it's been lots of fun.
I don't really want Phoronix in my RSS, because they post so many articles every day and it would just clog everything up. I just check them once a day or so and read the interesting articles.
Are you using a scaling factor with x11 legacy apps set to be "scaled by system"? That runs them at a lower resolution and scales them up. You can fix it by either using Gamescope or changing it to x11 apps "scale themselves".
I've been using my MiniLED monitor (Acer XV275K P3) in HDR mode with Plasma 6 on NixOS with an AMD RX 7600. It works well, HDR content is displayed nicely and SDR content is tonemapped pretty well imo.
It can be a little weird setting up the vk_hdr_layer for mpv, and running games inside Gamescope, but once it works then it looks as good as on Windows I believe.
