If you’re using Nvidia graphics I suggest this piece of documentation for driver installation.
Essentially if you’re running Debian 13 (Trixie) then run these commands;
Optional for RTX graphics cards, this enables the ray-tracing engine.
Just remember to disable secureboot if you haven’t already, otherwise the driver module will fail to start when you boot your computer likely throwing the kernel into a panic.
How easy is it to get HDR and VRR support working?
From a KDE Plasma desktop, the version provided is still to old, I found. It's not yet available.
But even on Kubuntu 25.10, enabling HDR crashes the whole system.
I’m going to preface and say that I don’t personally use HDR/VRR and have not attempted to use it on my system.
From what I know a couple of conditions need to be met to achieve this, tailor your setup towards Wayland opposed to X11, if you’re unfamiliar with the differences here’s a comprehensive run-down, you’ll need to follow those steps above I mentioned in regards to installing the Nvidia drivers as well as enable certain configuration options.
For a desktop environment i’m personally more familiar with KDE and know that they ship Plasma 6 with partial HDR support in Wayland desktops, granted Plasma 6 released in 2024 so support is likely to be more accessible now.
Not too sure if much else needs to be configured but to my knowledge that’s the gist of it.
Oh cool!!! Thank you!
