I'll switch once HDR support becomes mainstream in Linux. That and a Linux equivalent of AutoHDR (which is a Windows 11 feature that converts SDR videos and games to HDR). This is literally the only thing keeping me on Windows.
HDR has been working great for me in KDE. I've been using mpv for HDR videos, and games with HDR work great. KDE has an SDR vibrancy setting when HDR is enabled that lets you decide how bright and colorful you want SDR content (turn it up enough and it looks like HDR to me), I'm not sure if that's how auto HDR works.
im curious what version of kde plasma you're on, i thought they were still working on it and plasma 6 just released. My computer with the hdr monitor is still on plasma 5.
edit: should've looked it up first of course. looks like support is expiremental on Wayland plasma 6. I'll see what happens when kubuntu catches up.
Yeah, I'm on plasma 6, and interesting that they call it experimental. The setting is available by default in the display settings with no warning or anything. Either way, it works perfectly- hopefully kubuntu updates to 6 soon because it's so much better than 5 :)
