From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What about hdr. I saw it mentioned for the Steam Deck update, so wondered if that is finally working on Linux. I do like taking advantage of HDR on the TV.

It's in the early stages, but yeah you can do it in KDE Plasma if you're prepared to jump through a couple of hoops (basically doing the same thing the Deck does)

Linux won't have proper HDR support until mid-late next year.

That's in the works still right now, steam deck has it and I think it's possible to get it working on other distros but isn't on by default in most I don't think
