So with newer wayland+wine/proton improving HDR support, I figured... I would actually try. And, rather than needing to debug everything all in one go, I'd rather take a few incremental steps.

So is anyone aware of games with native linux clients/binaries that support HDR? Preferably with a menu setting so I can determine if the capability is detected rather than "I guess that light looks bright?"

This is what I do, I enable HDR on:

  • My Monitor's menu (hardware)
  • Steam Game Mode
  • KDE Plasma monitor config (software)
  • Game settings

My monitor isn't OLED, so the difference is barely noticeable to me. Even on my Steam Deck OLED, the difference is not big enough for me. It's nice, but I just can't appreciate it as much as others do. However, I do graphic design so the color management aspect is more valuable to me in a work context, just not so much for games.
