That's actually really impressive. Linux gaming has come a long way. I guess due to the investment Valve has put in or are there other events that have contributed?

Yeah I used to do Linux vs Windows benchmarks. On an AMD GPU Linux is usually faster. :)

HDR has been supported in the hardware, drivers and monitors for a long time. It's just the middle layer (Xorg and Wayland) that hasn't supported HDR. Nobody wants to do the Xorg part, but work is underway for Wayland and compositors.

Yup! Doable with gamescope-git and some env vars set to true. :)

Could you give me / direct me to an explanation? Would love to set this up for myself.

Edit: is it only what archwiki says or is there more?:

Gamescope is a requirement for HDR10 support when playing games, to make use of this feature you must launch your Gamescope session using the --hdr-enabled flag.

Sure! :)

This is the full archwiki article on HDR! :) gamescope-session is not needed in my experience but the rest are.

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

Hope this helps! :)

Pretty cool, and I assume non-game programs (like vlc) also have hdr when run through the steam session?

[-] ReverseModule@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Oh I don't know about that tbh. Never tried it. Plasma 6 should have HDR to an extent and HDR work in general has picked up and is progressing rather nicely for Linux in general. :)
