Steam deck has HDR support now, which means HDR support for AMD gpus on linux will improve at accelerated rate going forward. Nvidia users (me included) can can only look with envy I guess.
Is HDR generally unavailable on Linux right now? I primarily game on a Windows desktop but I’m considering trying to make my next build in a few years the equivalent of a “Steam Deck Console” but I’ve been trying to anticipate issues that might make it too limited or frustrating to use.
If you have an AMD GPU, the upcoming KDE Plasma 6 will have experimental HDR support. Or you can use gamescope (a compositor made by valve for steam deck) as your login session which will launch steam in big picture mode (afaik you can’t run other apps except steam in this desktop session).
