Disagree on the oled thing. Oled is better in a lot of cases, specially if everything on the screen is constantly changing. However, for a computer that will be displaying the taskbar 70% of the time its not ok. Oled burn in is a thing
Auto hide the taskbar, burn your wallpaper instead. Oled burn is really is much less of an issue these days thanks to better panels and pixel shifting tech.
Since you said ‘the oled’ i assume you mean the steam deck oled. Im not denying its bad, on contrary. Steam deck is a device that is constantly changing whats displayed. Thats good to prevent burn in on any device. The guy said oled is always better, which is what i disagreed with. Ive seen enough phones and computers monitors that were oled that had the windows taskbar, or android status bar, burned in over the years cause its a static thing. Like any display, burn in is possible but dont underestimate oled on burn in
Even then, the concerns are way way way waaaaaay overblown.
Hardware unboxed have been purposely trying to burn in an OLED for thousands of hours, and it’s still barely perceptible even when you’re trying to look for it by taking a picture of the screen then applying filters to make it more visible. In real world usage its effectively impossible.
With any modern OLED display, burn in is something you don’t need to worry about.

Is pixel shifting a thing on Linux? The Steam UI too?
A lot of people have done burn in tests on the OLED, and it’s barely a concern. The tech has really improved.
