    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…
