As the title asks, how does one actually use HDR for games after upgrading to Plasma 6?

This was the feature I was most excited about, and I can hit the HDR button on my display configuration and it looks like the desktop is going into HDR mode, but so far I have had zero luck enabling the HDR feature in games. Every game I've tried had the HDR toggle disabled with no way to enable it.

I am running these games under Proton and I've tried both 8-GE and 9 Beta. Any tips?

Edit: probably important to note that I am using an AMD GPU under Wayland

To add to this, I was doing some testing since this is on my mind and I am also unable to get HDR working on Youtube under either Firefox or Chromium.

This may be orthogonal to running games or it could be related.

That might be more due to them not supporting HDR on Linux yet, but I'll wait for someone else to confirm that
