Isn't HDR support on linux just a nightmare in general? I guess Steam is just waiting for linux to get its act together on this decades old feature rather than join in the madness it currently is.

The SteamDeck OLED has HDR support and so does KDE.
KDE has only had HDR support for a month.

Steam isn't even on wayland - complain about that ticket if you want HDR lol.
not to mention steam actually does have some degree of HDR support through gamescope, which steamdeck ships with.
(also HDR support on linux has barely started being a thing this year...)

Ekhm, Steam is still 32 bit app with only X11 support. It canโt even figure out UI scaling based pn global scale. Itโs generally a mess.
Why do you even need that?
Because HDR is fucking amazing? Games really come to life with bright and vibrant colors.
I want to switch to Linux eventually xbut won't until it not only has full HDR support, but can also convert SDR games to HDR like Windows 11 can.

PC games in HDR on a good monitor just hit different.
There is plenty of good reasons not to use proprietary software
Whelp, gnome doesn't even support hdr yet, but kde added preliminary support just recently. Also, nvidia added supports for hdr just recently with their v550 driver, released just last month. You probably can run hdr games today if you're willing to put some elbow grease. I'm lazy though, so I'll just wait.
It's not that hard, actually.
Got it working with Armoured Core VI on KDE, you just have to run the game in gamescope with some flags to enable HDR, and then KDE will pick that up as long as your monitor is HDR and it's enabled.
Forbidden West crashes when I enable HDR in the game settings, and Helldivers HDR is just so bad it's not worth using.
Amateurs should close tickets after 30 days and disable users replying to their own posts.
Wayland compositors might implement it this century
I thought some Wayland compositors already supported 10 bit per channel colour?

Color department? ๐ค
You know, the room inside your monitor full of little hamsters with tiny paintbrushes that speed paint everything onto the screen from the inside. They used to have a lot more room, but we had to breed the hamsters way smaller.
