    Isn’t HDR support on linux just a nightmare in general? I guess Steam is just waiting for linux to get its act together on this decades old feature rather than join in the madness it currently is.

      Last time I tried it, it was a nightmare on Windows as well.

      I have an HDR monitor and I turned that off because it looked awful. Nex Machina was completely unplayable even then, as it detected it anyway and shows a completely washed out picture.

      Only consoles and set top boxes seem to support it properly. It looks really good when it works.

        Might just be your monitor, HDR certifications mean barely anything and it’s not uncommon for them to look worse with HDR than without.

        My last 2 monitors supposedly had hdr but are unusable in reality.

          If it all worked for you out of the box and you’re happy with it, then great.

          But your experience was not my experience.
