Hell yeah, another HDR lover on Lemmy! Now there’s two of us!
That’s the main reason why I use Win11 as my primary OS. 10’s HDR support is half-assed, and KDE’s is even worse. Linux doesn’t even support nVidia GPUs properly, so SDR-to-HDR conversion is missing for both YouTube and local videos. And since Win10 doesn’t have AutoHDR for games, that leaves 11 as my only choice if I want to play games and watch videos in HDR with minimal hassle.
(edit: And yes I know that converting to HDR isn’t as good as real HDR; but IDC cause it looks amazing to me, especially in the highlights.)
yeah nah couldn’t get it to work and I’m not playing around with it anymore I tried for weeks windows just works when it just works on mint I’ll nuke windows
cinnamon has experimental wayland support I tried that I tried stuff based on KDE I tried gamescope none of it worked I’m not looking for support I looked for it it doesn’t work right now for me
I just wanna use my hdr monitor bro

HDR works pretty well on the latest KDE versions

Mint uses Cinnamon desktop, which currently only supports Xorg. For HDR support you need something with Wayland and pretty up to date.

gnome has HDR, idk how well it works or how much gnome distrupts your workflow
no
I mean if you dont like gnome its fine, but still better than using windows, what’s the hold up?
no it’s not and I literally said I’m done messing about when mint supports hdr windows is gone
Just want to use Dolby Atmos and for audio to keep working on Firefox after I’m done watching a movie
