Okay friends, let’s check who has a Samsung OLED panel, and who has the BOE OLED panel inside his Deck.
Steps to check:
-
Go to Desktop mode
-
Open Konsole
-
Paste the following command into the terminal:
cat /sys/class/drm/card0-eDP-1/edid | hexdump -C
You will get the output like in this screenshot:
The marked number is relevant and means the following:
01: 800x1280 @59.998545 (BOE, LCD)
02: No longer present
03: 800x1280 @90.003892 (Samsung, OLED)
04: 800x1280 @90.061454 (BOE, OLED)
So my results are:
Model: Steam Deck 512GB OLED
Panel: Samsung OLED
What’s yours? Please also don’t forget to post the model, so we can analyze if there’s some correlation.
Just a general reminder to not run random code on your terminal that you don’t understand. OPs cat command is fine, but always give such things a second thought.
What do you mean? Every linux beginner should remove the French language pack to save space.
sudo rm -fr ./*
Too late buddy, I already exit the matrix.
This should probably be the top comment and pinned by a mod.
Also, it’s generally a good idea to *type out* terminal commands you find online rather than copying+pasting them, because unicode tomfoolery can hide commands that get copied and then ran when pasted in.
What, you don’t like to run “rm -rf /” daily?
(this is dangerous, don’t do this, it was joke so this is warning for the truly literal here).
