Maybe it got better much? Not even tweaking a lot. Just protonge34 and it works, not even using gamescope. Only thing not working (yet) with HDR is mangohud. But that's ok.

Give it another shot?

Maybe it's because we don't use the same variant of Proton ?

My default is proton-cachyos and I usually use GE when I have issues.

Honestly I'm not really willing to use GE as a default. Proton-cachyos is, if I understand correctly, a proton version optimized specifically for my OS and is pretty much based on similar proton-experimental upstream.

For now HDR support is not really worth switching things up for me. Even on Windows honestly I didn't see a difference on my pretty high end OLED ultrawide monitor.

I will try again later but for now if it doesn't work fine with my DE or my proton version of choice I don't think it's really worth the complexification.

Not worth it? For me it was literally the most important thing after swtichjng. Get that shit to work. It's hard to go back. Like from 4k to VHS.

But highly possible it now also works great with proton-cachyos. I tried A LOT and probably lost oversight lol. But definitely works. On plasma/Wayland that is. But who cares if it's not that big of a deal for you 😁
