I am looking for a way to play HDR content on Linux. From what I understand KDE 6 has experimental support for HDR, but isn't available on Pop OS 22.04. Apparently Cosmic desktop will support HDR when it's released, but I don't know if the experimental version will.

Can anybody help me here? Will I need to change distro?

Check out HDR Monitor Support on the Arch Wiki. It tells you everything you need to know

It kinda sucks that even in Arch you have to use KDE to get HDR support. I greatly prefer Gnome. It's so stupid simple that I get things done way faster.

even in Arch

What do you mean with "even in Arch", why would this be different across distros?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because Arch is a rolling distro, so it gets new stuff faster. I guess what I'm ultimately saying is that it sucks I need to use a DE that I don't like to get HDR support, or alternatively, it sucks that Gnome doesn't support HDR, even with the newest version.

There are other distros with KDE 6, not just Arch.
