    You don’t need widows to game anymore (Proton the game software for Linux, not Proton the VPN/email provider)

      I’ll switch once HDR support becomes mainstream in Linux. That and a Linux equivalent of AutoHDR (which is a Windows 11 feature that converts SDR videos and games to HDR). This is literally the only thing keeping me on Windows.

        I have to make this nitpick:

        “you” are the one keeping you on windows. You decide that those features are more important than any disadvantages.

        Which I think is absolutely OK - that’s your choice. Many many people took this choice for a myriad of reasons and are the sum of “windows majority” - and no “I would change if” will perpetuate either feature development on Linux programs nor pressure on Microsoft.

          Yes I’m aware of this. I’m not telling other people to stay away from Linux over HDR. If you don’t care about it, then by all means feel free to use whatever OS you want. Just sharing my personal opinion.

        HDR has been working great for me in KDE. I’ve been using mpv for HDR videos, and games with HDR work great. KDE has an SDR vibrancy setting when HDR is enabled that lets you decide how bright and colorful you want SDR content (turn it up enough and it looks like HDR to me), I’m not sure if that’s how auto HDR works.

          im curious what version of kde plasma you’re on, i thought they were still working on it and plasma 6 just released. My computer with the hdr monitor is still on plasma 5.

          edit: should’ve looked it up first of course. looks like support is expiremental on Wayland plasma 6. I’ll see what happens when kubuntu catches up.

            Nobara comes with Plasma 6 and a pile of proton/wine/gpu upgrades to improve gaming, and put on a Fedora base that’s impressively stable. It’s done by GloriousEggroll so it’s all cutting edge Wine improvements.

            Yeah, I’m on plasma 6, and interesting that they call it experimental. The setting is available by default in the display settings with no warning or anything. Either way, it works perfectly- hopefully kubuntu updates to 6 soon because it’s so much better than 5 :)
