Linear Workflow and V2

Hey I have been learning about linear workflow and compensating for the shifts that monitors cause. I see there are 2 settings in Maxwell for Tone Mapping. They are:
1. Burn
2. Gamma

So does a Gamma setting of 2.2 compensate for the monitor with a setting of 2.2?

yes

and textures are treated respectively to their sRGB format.
so Yoy have not to do anything with settings to get Linear workflow inside maxwell

my only confusion about this is that when I bring a 32-bit image into Nuke and assign it a sRGB profile, it's still way off. Is it already linear?

Yes, we have to see why gamma is off. Meanwhile, you've found a workaround here:

you mean the one I submitted :P

anyway, glad to see this is on the radar. I'll just keep using that workaround.
