Interesting, I didnt think the lcd would have supported hdr
Patch notes says "HDR can now be enabled in Display Settings if supported by the external display."
Ohh wow... Is this the first proper Linux HDR implementation?
Hopefully it spreads to desktop too
There was a HDR hackfest earlier this year. A couple of reports from after the event if you're interested https://emersion.fr/blog/2023/hdr-hackfest-wrap-up/ + https://blogs.gnome.org/shell-dev/2023/05/04/vivid-colors-in-brno/. It also got a brief mention in the System76 blog https://blog.system76.com/post/may-flowers-spring-cosmic-showers.
So it's being worked on, and it seems all involved are trying to get it right - it sounds like gamescope on SteamOS doesn't need to worry about solving all the problems that general purpose desktop compositors will have to.
Getting everyone to agree on a single standard.
Desktop Linux had been a bit behind the others on display features due to the legacy of X. As everybody moves more to Wayland that better enables these sorts of things, they're catching up.
If only Nvidia wasn't being such a huge roadblock...
If only people stopped buying Nvidia...
Unfortunately they're not easily avoidable if you need CUDA, there's really no good replacement yet. Most gamers probably don't need CUDA, however
@HughJanus @xuniL it’s also sucks that almost all laptops used navidia. AMD advantage computers are always behind or few.
If only AMD would catch up with raytracing, DLSS, compute, and HDMI 2.1...
Everytime I think about switching to AMD these things always hold me back. There isn't a solution where you can throw money at the problem, unfortunately.
DLSS is proprietary NVidia technology. That's just like blaming Nvidia not being able to catch up on CPUs because Intel and AMD did not give them a license for the x86_64 instruction set. AMD supports the other technologies just fine.
I am not saying AMD should get DLSS to run somehow on their GPUs. I am saying that their competiting technology, FSR 2, just isn't at the same quality level. If FSR 2 didn't exhibit extremely bad disocclusion artifacts and particle ghosting, or even worked decently well at lower resolutions, I wouldn't be complaining. But it really is just a subpar upscaling solution that gets beaten out even by Intel's XeSS, which was a late arrival to the scene.
FSR is open source. Patches welcome.
And your point is? Just because it is open source doesn't make it automatically good and it doesn't excuse the company running the project from being competitive lol.
AMD hardware doesn't have the dedicated AI cores to make it work well anyway.
