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 So instead of relying on outdated info, just asking the pros :)

I’m running 4k HDR 120Hz on NVidia 5070 in KDE Plasma on CachyOS.

To enable in Proton games it requires an extra environment variable.

The AMD part is actually the opposite, since AMD drivers on Linux can’t do HDMI 2.1, but NVidia can.

Would've prefered a debian-based, but that surely is a point for cachy. Plus it's german/eu. Does it do multiple monitors stress-free too? Thanks!

Debian Trixie ships a new enough version of plasma to contain HDR
