Posting this in the community instead of issues & assistance because its more of a question for discussion rather than an issue.
Since Garuda is more gaming focused I was wondering if anyone here was using an OLED monitor as their main display? I recently got the Alienware 32 inch 4k OLED and love the picture quality. My only fear with OLED is the burn in potential, which if you look online you will see people arguing over how big of a deal it is on modern monitors but I digress.
If you are running an OLED monitor do you use anything to try to minimize burn in? On Windows I was using Wallpaper engine to use dynamic wallpapers, but unfortunately it is not available on Linux. I also have my screen set to turn off after a minute of inactivity to make sure I don’t leave anything static on my screen for too long. Other than that I just use my monitor as normal and let it do its refresh every 4 hours or so depending on if I’m in the middle of something.
So any fellow OLED gamers using Garuda? How has your experience been with it?

This script, if you use X11 window manager instead of Wayland, can prevent monitor burn, and also show off your photos. That is how i do it. i wrote a script to manage my photos.
i monitor my input, if idle, my script will begin to show random photos, out of my Picture directory, and will put the computer, or monitor, to sleep after a predetermined idle time is detected.
(i made an installer out of my script, for Debian at the time, but i quickly modified it for Garuda. If you are using X11 this should work fine. Giving you a screensaver that responds to your mouse being idle, ( but will not start screensaver if sound is going so you can watch videos without the screensaver coming on.) Simply copy the code on an empty screensaver.sh file, and install the dependencies listed at the beginning of the script, and give the new file permission, modify the default settings if need be at the begiining of the Script, and run it. (i like using Geany to do so.)
(If you install it and then autostart it, you can protect your monitor from burn in, and see your favourite photos coming past in style when your computer is idle.)
Cheers.

Nice! Thank you! I am currently using Wayland but I may switch back to X11 and use this script. Seems like a good way to keep from having any burn in and to just make it look nicer. I appreciate it.
i hope it will work okay. i quickly modified it for Arch , it was originally written for Debian, X11 window manger will work tho.
If you have any troubles let me know.
One thing i forgot to tell you is that i did not know what version of Garuda you use, and if you do use KDE, where your main panel is located. The panel in KDE has real issue popping up, unasked for. i fixed it for myself with an pixel command checking if the panel is visible, making sure i get the values, before i autohide it. So that when it pops up unexpectedly, and mars the photos on display, the script can correct it. So please let me know where you panel is, and what size it is, and i will reenter the command, to keep an eye on the panel. (i kept part of the code out, for i did not where to monitor for your panel. As the script is now, ever 1.4 seconds your panel is minimised, even if it is already minimised, to make sure it is minimised, if you understand what i mean.
