Ah, good point. I do have a monitor with HDR, but I never really paid attention to it in the past. AFAIK unfortunately there isn't really any good support for HDR without a lot of messing with the window server. It seems to be in the works though by various groups.

It seems like some distros have HDR working on most things.

I've been wanting to move from windows to Linux for about 10 years now but there's always been something that Linux just didn't do that stopped me.

I look into it every few years and now it seems like the only thing missing is the last few HDR hickups.

For a long time my issue with moving was that there was nothing on Linux that could compare to madvr. It seems like mpv is getting close.

Hopefully it'll all get done before the support for windows 10 ends.

If video/audio playback and HDR is completely fixed before then I believe a lot of people will move to Linux rather than Windows 11.
