Has support for DP 2.1 or HDR in Wayland made any improvements yet? I tried Pop_OS and had lots of issues with this

github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/…/816

I’ve been following this GitHub issue waiting for this change to make it into the next nvidia driver release but still suspect this won’t address HDR. Obviously first world problems for high end hardware but it’s one of the last pieces holding me back from trying Linux on my desktop

HDR

HDR works on KDE and GNOME desktop environments. KDE is currently the better choice if HDR support is important.

As for software:

Not included in official Proton builds yet but can be enabled in Proton-GE with 2 environment variables

mpv works fine

Kodi gets support in the next major version

Firefox and Chromium have experimental support

Can’t speak for DP 2.1 since I have an AMD GPU and no hardware that uses DP 2.1 (yet).

  Appreciate the info! I had been trying out the new Cosmic DE that ships with pop os and I’m guessing that’s still lacking HDR but did feel very performant. I’ll have to see if switching is worth the trade off once they nvidia driver update gets released
