          Some games support it on windows but not Linux. The list is small. That said, windows HDR support is garbage ime. I don’t feel like there’s a good option that’s set and forget in any case.

          Plasma/wayland integration is coming along but it’s not there yet for HDR in gaming.

          I just said screw it and live without it. Forgot i cared after 20min.

          How do you know and learn this stuff? i dont even know what “plasma” is and why you need it.

          “Just use linux” doesnt help in this scenario i use it for productivity for the past 5 years but i havent felt ive really learned shit.

            How do you learn this stuff?

            The same way you got your knowledge about Windows 🙂

        Someone made a post about enabling HDR support on Linux a day or two ago. Times have changed, and you might want to look into it again.

        (I don’t have HDR monitors, but it works on my OLED Steam Deck.)

          The Steam Deck is an exception to the rule, unfortunately. Game mode runs using Gamescope as the compositor, which allows it to directly manage rendering surfaces and support HDR output.

          Support for HDR under a regular DE is still either nonexistent or a work-in-progress last I checked.

            It’s been a hot minute, but they might have gotten HDR through some gamescope trickery. Sounds vaguely familiar…

        Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. It literally only exists on a single desktop environment and even then it’s practically beta. On my TV it just shows everyhing as green and purple when I enable HDR.

        I love linux and want it to keep improving but man people need to stop circlejerking linux so much when it comes to people using windows when it suits their needs

        Can’t miss what I’ve never had, suppose I’m lucky there - HDR might as well not exist (in my mind) until it does exist on GNU+Linux.
