My OLED monitor is starving for some HDR goodness. I might have to consider a KDE install just to give it a try.
HDR on Plasma 6

ReillyBrogan Just tried it out, with Forza Horizon 4. Worked! Not sure if there's a difference between HDR on and off though, but I feel like I'm more immersed. The colors might be a bit more realistic. Could just be my immagination tricking me though. But it works, which is nice!
kaktuspalme Usually you'll notice HDR in that bright areas of the screen will be brighter and darker areas (shadows and whatnot) will have more nuance and depth. It really depends on your monitor how good this effect is though, many HDR monitors are only HDR400 which is barely HDR and is only slightly brighter than max brightness anyway.

Updated method for getting HDR in games there. You now can remove a bunch of the parts of the command and just run this instead:
gamescope --fullscreen -w DISPLAY_WIDTH -h DISPLAY_HEIGHT -r REFRESH_RATE --hdr-enabled -- %command%

ReillyBrogan I always stuck in the main menu of the game (Elden Ring) if I do it in native Steam client.
I have to do gamescope --hdr-enabled -e -- steam
to run steam in gamescope and then run gamescope --fullscreen -w DISPLAY_WIDTH -h DISPLAY_HEIGHT -r REFRESH_RATE --hdr-enabled -- %command%
for the game to make it work.
I use Arch Linux with AMD Ryzen 3700X and AMD 6750XT.
laichiaheng Does it work on Solus Linux tho
- Edited
ReillyBrogan After removing amdvlk, it works.
But I can't find my resolution. 3840*2160
laichiaheng Solus doesn't have AMDVLK though.
I think you're a bit lost friend, this is the forum for Solus which is a completely different Linux distribution from Arch Linux.
ReillyBrogan I think he might be trolling a bit here :')
JTCPingas Nah, the simplest explanation is that they googled Plasma HDR or something and my guide popped up. TBF I did write a good guide on how to enable HDR so that's reasonable.
@laichiaheng Unfortunately I don't have any Arch systems and I don't really care to support bugs/issues that aren't reproducible on Solus.

Occam's Razor wins every time, for me..
