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?

    Ignore my first comment kinda missed your question. Seems like gamescope HDR support works with mpv aswell according to this Reddit post

    Sadly only works in tty aswelly some say it only works on amdvlk

    You should try it yourself though, only way to know for sure

    Kodi seems to also support HDR when you run it from the tty according to the Arch Wiki. I have no clue how that translates to pop! OS though
