From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Question: How do you watch content encoded in HDR-10 or Dolby Vision on a Linux box? I'm pretty sure *Nix supports neither. Do you simply not watch that kind of content?
You can decode and view HDR files in SDR just fine but the Linux ecosystem just does not support HDR yet. It's being worked on though and Valve's Gamescope compositor has started getting HDR working in games.
What I meant about "simply not watch that content" was actually "simply not watch that content in HDR".
Thanks for the reply. I hope you're right and that support comes soon. I'd love to ditch windows ASAP
