From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've got these things locally available in the $50-60 range. This being a generic brand, I imagine a buncha those are available globally. Anyone tried 'em, do they work OK with modern desktops (gnome, plasma)? Touch? DP-Alt or are they DisplayLink? Do they have PD?
Sellers are helpful nada, same with youtube videos, just marketing fluff.
Is the image edited? 75% sRGB coverage on an IPS panel? That's terrible. I've never seen IPS panels that cover so little sRGB colorspace. Almost all of them will easily achieve the same amount of Adobe RGB per default.
75% is horrendous. You'll definitely notice that.
that's pretty standard for laptop panels, most enterprise models (thinkpad, elitebook, etc.) ship with similar spec (6-bit, 256K colors, 200ish nits, 70ish sRGB). that's what essentially this is, salvaged laptop panel + cheap controller board + plastic. for $50, it's okay.
there are monitors with better specs (e.g. there's a 16" one with purportedly 100% sRGB), but those are aliexpress specs so I wouldn't put too much stock in those.
