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 So instead of relying on outdated info, just asking the pros :)

    Washed out and desaturated is the opposite of what it should do. Sounds like you may be looking at SDR (non HDR) content with HDR enabled?

      Is Linux not able to switch HDR on and off as necessary?

      I usually do this in-game so why would a non-HDR game have an HDR toggle?

        You may have to enable HDR for Linux on each monitor individually from the display settings, and then enable HDR for the game itself from within its own settings.

          I only have 1 (large) monitor. I toggle it on and everything looks like butt. Then toggle it off and it looks normal again. It’s an HDR OLED display.

        With my configuration, it does. Though it likely also depends on GPU drivers, Monitor, etc. I’m just speculating as I have no clue beyond “works for me”.

        Any games that have an HDR option in their graphics settings would support HDR I hope. Maybe if the display is already in HDR while in desktop mode, it’s possible that launching the game isn’t able to toggle it off?
