I’m so done with win11, and currently 12 of my 15 machines are linux anyway, but AFAIK HDR (on nvidia gpu) is still impossible? Are you guys all on AMD or just not using hdr for gaming/media? So instead of relying on outdated info, just asking the pros :)

    My screen only does HDR600, but it does work.

    It looks a little nicer than with it off, so I do keep it on. SDR content does not suffer.

    I’m on KDE wayland with an AMD GPU.

      Sounds great, besides the AMD part. So it might work, but not with my nvidia :( Thanks!

        https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HDR

        Arch wiki says NVIDIA should now work, too.

        As of Mesa 25 it should just work. Even if you’re on a distro that doesn’t have it working yet, seems HDR on NVIDIA is not far off, and can be made to work right now if you know how with arch.

        For my setup, I literally just enable the setting in the KDE display settings.

          Nah, I don’t wanna spend more time fiddling than actually doing something, so no arch for me :) Although cachyos is based on arch IIRC. either way, good to know!

          Thanks!

            It is.

            If you’re on cachy you should be able apply any relevant changes same as arch.

            But if I’m reading the wiki right, you should already be good to go, provided you’re on a DE that supports HDR.
